Happiness is… seeing a new Cheere Denise video in my feed.

Good morning Cheere Denise! Glad to have you back!

Lord Louis was born a Prince of Battenburg the name Mountbatten only came to be because of WW1. It happened around the same time the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha became the House of Windsor, which happened on 17 July 1917. This was because of the public of Britian having anti-German sentiments because of the war. In fact the Battenburg to Mountbatten switch happened 14 July 1917, and the names mean the same thing.

The thought of her giving up never entered my mind. There's something about those of unyielding character which simply won't allow such a move. Her stance on a myriad of issues has been obvious, within her narratives. I don't think that status, money, popularity or power affects her much, and she's unlikely to be intimidated by those to whom it does. Her adherence to her firm moral code seems most important, and therein lay the challenge, which she met thoughtfully, passionately, and bravely. Did it wound her? Obviously it did. She reeled, then re-balanced, treated herself, then stood tall again. She is a teacher. The scar from this will be a guide for her to be an ever-better one. In fact, has what she has done, not already been a lesson for us all?

I believe the family name was originally Battenberg. Around World War I, George V wanted the family to appear more English and less German so their name Saxe-Coburg was changed to Windsor. The Battenbergs changed their name to Mountbatten.

The name Battenburg was Anglicised to Mountbatten after ( or during) the second world war because of the animosity toward the Germans. Prince Phillip was also a Battenburg. Elisabeth and Philip officially changed the family name to Windsor during the war to dissociate themselves from the German connection. Correct me if I'm wrong.

@misscoutts6193

It was changed in I917 because of anti-German feeling and the entire family was, in reality, of German origin. The name "Windsor" was thought of by Lord Stamfordham, King George V's Private Secretary.

Like or loathe the Mountbattens, I personally love them, besides the fact I live about an hour from Broadlands, and it is a stunning place to visit, they were/are quite a dynamic couple and have definitely left their mark. Thankyou for reading this book. The surname Montbatten was changed, it was originally Battenberg, origins came from Germany, from what I've read and reading between the lines it was changed because of its links to Germany.
