who changed the royal family name to windsor?
george v
because of the first world war and the resultant strong anti-german sentiment, the family name was changed in 1920 from saxe-coburg-gotha to "van belgië, de belgique", or "von belgien" ("of belgium"), depending upon which of the country's three official languages (dutch, french, and german) is in use. it is this family name which is used on the identity cards and in all official documents by belgium's royalty (e.g. marriage licenses). in addition to this change of name, the armorial bearings of saxony were removed from the belgian royal coat of arms (see above). other coburgers from the multi-branched saxe-coburg family have also changed their name, such as george v, who adopted the family name of windsor after the british royal family’s place of residence.
