Rejected petition Restore the Royal Family's Pre WWI last name.

More details

Because of anti- German sentiment in the First World War, the Royal Family changed their Ancestral Royal House from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor.

Anti German Sentiment has long past and the Royal Family should have the right to use their original titles that they have had since Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. They changed their names out of respect for the British people so the British people should respect the Royal Families German ancestry.
