阅读理解 The British royal family live their lives in the public eye, but there's one thing that not many people know: their last name. That's simply because they don't need a last name. They're so famous that they can be easily picked out without one. But when members of the royal family need to use a last name—when they're in school or in the military, for example—they actually have a few choices. Here's a list of all their choices—and how it got to be this way in the first place. Before 1917, royals didn't use last names at all. Back then, royals had only their first names and the name of the house or dynasty they were part of. You've probably heard of some of these dynasty names, like the House of Tudor and the House of York. In 1917, when King George V had been in power for seven years, he decided to change the house name to Windsor. But he wasn't just changing the dynasty name. George V also specified that Windsor was to become the royal family's official surname, too. Today, the royal family is still known as the House of Windsor, and in a general sense, Windsor is still the royals' last name. When Queen Elizabeth II came to power, she made a small change. In 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten. Just a few years later, after her father died, Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II. Mount batten became Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In 1960, Elizabeth and Philip decided that they wanted to make their branch of the royal family tree different from the others. They specified that their children would use the last name Mountbatten-Windsor. But royals don't always use the Mount batten-Windsor name. Some members have used the name of their family's territory instead. For example, when Prince William and Prince Harry served in the army, they went by William Wales and Harry Wales—because their father is the Prince of Wales. And Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have gone by Eugenie York and Beatrice York, since their father, Prince Andrew, is the Duke of York. （1） Who made Windsor the royals' last name? A .
