People with one of these 100 surnames could be related to the Royal Family

You may just have royalty in your blood...

If you ever thought you may have royalty in your blood, those with these 100 surnames could be dead right!

The surname of the current Royals, Mountbatten-Windsor, tends to fly under the radar, but Windsor has actually been in the family for centuries.

Mountbatten is slightly newer having come from the late Prince Philip.

Prince Philip was born in Greece in 1921 into the Greek and Danish royal families, however, he gave up those titles when he became a British citizen in 1947, and took the surname Mountbatten, which was his mother’s family name.

When he took the crown in 1952, the Queen decided to double-barrel the name of Windsor, including the nod to her husband.
