The name "Windsor" comes from Windsor Castle, a historic royal residence. The family includes prominent figures like Queen Elizabeth II, her descendants, and other royals. The House of Windsor represents the monarchy’s continuity and tradition, playing a significant role in British culture and ceremonial life.
