The British royal family is Windsor - so Queen Elizabeth is actually Elizabeth Windsor, although as the Queen of England, it's not really used.
The children of Queen Elizabeth are Mountbatten-Windsor.

King George changed it because WWI and the anti German feelings of the British people building at the time.
