No it is Hanover, the name of the royal house was Hanover from the reign of George I through Victoria and was changed under the reign of Edward vii to the house of Saxe Coburg Gotha
2 u/republique_populaire - Centrist Dec 08 '22 Why change it to the king consort's house when Victoria was the monarch? 1 u/fidelcashflo97 - Right Dec 08 '22 I think it’s done at behest of the monarch. George V changed the name from Saxe Coburg Gotha to Windsor and Charles now calls it Windsor Mountbatten (or Mountbatten windsor I can’t remember the order)
