The Queen
When the queen and Prince Philip married, he was unhappy that she didn't take his name. At the time, she chose to keep "Windsor." However, 13 years later in 1960, she decided that their children's surname would become a hyphenate of his and her last names — meaning they are all now Mountbatten-Windsor. In the same year, the queen paid further tribute to her husband when she chose the name Andrew for their new son. He was named after Philip's late father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark.
King Edward VII
One of the most famous romantic gestures of all time . . . Edward was in a relationship with the socialite Wallis Simpson, but because she was divorced he could never marry her and still be king. When his father, King George V, passed away, Edward had a decision to make, and he chose love over his throne, abdicating 11 months later and before he was crowned.
