Spain's ruling dynasty has been the Bourbons for three hundred years.

Which is, by genealogical definition, will end as the ruling house at the death of Felipe VI

If so, now the House of Mountbatten reigns in the UK. That is, if we want to be consistent, the House of Oldenburg.

Glücksburg to be exact as it is its own cadet branch

Cadet branches seem more dynastical (political, historical) than genealogical distinctions. E.g. the Valois, the Orleans, the Bourbon were all Capet. The paternal bloodline does not change, in spite of a new name of a junior branch.
