Full List Of 100 Surnames That Could Mean You Actually Have Royal Blood
This list of 100 surnames could reveal if you’re related to the Royal Family.
Have you ever considered that you may have royal blood?
It turns out that a total of 100 surnames could indicate if you have royal relations somewhere down the line.
Given that the royal family’s current surname often flies under the radar, it might be helpful to start by clarifying what that surname actually is.
The royal’s currently go by ‘Mountbatten-Windsor.’
Windsor has been the family’s house name for centuries, but Mountbatten actually stems from the late Queen Elizabeth’s husband, Prince Philip.
Philip was a Prince of Greece and Denmark, but he gave up those titles when he became a British citizen in 1947, and took the surname Mountbatten, his mother’s family name.
After taking the crown in 1952, the Queen decided to double-barrel the name of Windsor to include the nod to her husband.
But let’s take a look at the full list of potentially royal surnames:
- Abel
