The House of Windsor: The German Dynasty That Became Britain's Royal Family

Discover the extraordinary history of the House of Windsor, the dynasty that transformed from a German royal family into the modern face of Britain's monarchy. In 1917, at the height of the First World War, King George V made one of the most important decisions in royal history: he abandoned the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and renamed the royal family the House of Windsor. But why did Britain's royal family change its name, and how did that decision help save the monarchy? This documentary traces the complete history of the House of Windsor, from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to George V, Edward VIII, George VI, Queen Elizabeth II, and King Charles III. Discover how the British royal family survived world wars, constitutional crises, abdication, scandal, the decline of the British Empire, and the challenges of the modern age to remain one of the world's most influential monarchies.
