In 1917, towards the end of the First World War the royal family changed their name to Windsor for patriotic reasons. The daughters of Victoria and Albert married German royalty, the eldest Victoria, Kaiserin Friedrich for the 88 days her husband lived to reign, was the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
