The British Monarchy
The monarchy of the United Kingdom (commonly referred to as the British monarchy) is the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom and its overseas territories. The British monarchy traces its origins from the Kings of the Angles and the early Scottish Kings. By the year 1000, the kingdoms of England and Scotland had developed from the petty kingdoms of early medieval Britain. The present monarch, Elizabeth II, has reigned since 6 February 1952. She and her immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial and representational duties.
The Royal family
Members of royal family can be known by the name of the royal house, (they sign by their first name) before 1907 they didn`t had surname.
Children can take their surnames from their fathers example. (Edward VII house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, family name of prince Albert his father)(George V was the second in that dynasty in 1910)
The names of the dynasties tended to change when the line of succession was taken by a rival faction within the family example (Henry IV and the Lancastrian, Edward IV the Yorkists, Henry VII the Tudors) or when the succession passed to a different family (Henry II and the Angevins, James I and the Stuarts, George and the Hanoverians).
George V adopted Windsor (as a name of his house or dynasty and family surname too. On July 1917 at a meeting of the Privy council declared that all descendants in male of Victoria line and female who have married shall bear the name of Windsor.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburg in 1960 they decided distinguished from the rest of the Royal family and preserve their name of Royal house. As Windsor is the surname for male and unmarried female descendent of George V, the female who married would carry the name Mountbatten- Windsor it was declared in the Privy council.(ex. Prince Philip´s M in 1947)

Order of succession
The order of succession is the sequence of members of the Royal Family in the order in which they stand in line to the throne.A person is always immediately followed in the succession by his or her own legitimate descendants except for any legitimate descendants who already appear higher in the line of succession.
The basis for the succession was determined in the constitutional developments of the seventeenth century, which culminated in the Bill of Rights (1689)and the Act of Settlement (1701).
The succession to the throne is regulated not only through descent, but also by statute; the Act of Settlement confirmed that it was for Parliament to determine the title to the throne.
Parliament, under the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement, also laid down various conditions which the Sovereign must meet. A Roman Catholic is specifically excluded from succession to the throne; nor may the Sovereign marry a Roman Catholic.
The Sovereign must, in addition, be in communion with the Church of England and must swear to preserve the established Church of England and the established Church of Scotland. The Sovereign must also promise to uphold the Protestant succession.
