The British Royal family is the House of Windsor, Windsor being their "original" surname (having changed it from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which was rather too Germanic for comfort, during World War I).
However, some time after the death (in an IRA bomb blast) of Lord Louis Mountbatten (formerly Battenberg, I think - its that Teutonic feeling again!) the Queen added his surname as well, so the official name is now "Mountbatten-Windsor".
