If one wants to be picky, they are Gluksburgs. But they do not use  "family names".  Most roylas do not.  Although Simeon of Bulgaria did  use Coburg when he renounced his royal rights to become PM.

Robert,

Is not the Sweedish Royal House the Bernodettes?

Is not the House of Windsor the Windosr-Mounbattens

Is not the Prussian Royal house the Hohenzollerens?

Is not the and/or whatevers of Hanover the Guelps?

The British Royal Familys name is Windsor.Mountbatten-Windsor is starting to be used by lesser members of the family as they are born.I believe Lady Louise is Mountbatten-Windsor.Sorry for getting a little off the topic.

Actually even the House of Britian should be Glucksburg, Prince Philip was a Mountbatten only by creation or adoption when he married Princess Elizabeth (now the Queen) of York, heiress assumption to the throne.  ???

If adoption, it ought to be valid. Don´t you think.  ???

True...But Philip was born a Glucksburg, a Prince of Greece & Denmark. Greece ceased being a monarchy but Denmark remained. I am sure Daisy still regarded him as her close cousin (the queen was one too but very distant is both blood and spirit).  ;)

Philip gave up his Greek title and name before his marriage.Took Mountbatten as his name in respect for his uncle.The King gave him the title Duke of Edinburgh.Ten years later the Queen made him a British Prince.After Ann was born I belive there was discussion about the children taking his name but the idea was regected,much to the Dukes fury"I am only an amoeba!"Took him ten years to calm down.

As I have said Philip is a Mountbatten only by adoption. Also Philip's case is hardly unique. When Francis of Lorraine married Maria Theresa of Austria, her house was changed to Hapsburg-Lorraine...but generally still refer the family as Hapsburgs.  ???

Some years ago when I was living in Sydney an elderly lady told me a story about Phiip when he was stationed there during the war as a Royal Navy Officer.During New Years Eve celebrations in the Rocks area of the city a policeman was talking to Philip about a minor offence he may have committed.Taking out his notebook the constable asked the alleged offender his name.On the princely reply"Philip Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksberg" the constable stared at the young man for a minute,put away his notebook and pencil,wished him Happy New Year and went on his way.

I think now it is shortened to Glucksburg by the Danish Royal Family. Wonder if Philip threw away his old Danish passport ? King Christian X gave his Greek relatives Danish Passports when they were exiled from Greece.  ???

It may well be somewhere in the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle.
