The House of Windsor, a branch of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha line of the House of Wettin, is the current Royal House of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and each of the other Commonwealth Realms. In 1916, during World War I, anti-German feeling among the people resulted in the Royal Family exchanging use of all of their German titles and house names for English-sounding versions.
