WELCOME to OUR NECK-of-the-WOODS
Proverb 6:6 and Proverb 30:25
Welcome to our neck of the woods! Trees are starting to turn colors and all those acorns finally made thier way down to the mossy earth. The dew is on the roses and the woodland critters are stocking up for the winter months ahead. The ant is even stocking up. We are to observe the natural happenings around us and prepare, also. Soon will be the harvest!
We try to give encouragement and insight to Bibical views and world views, through simple stories, poems, inspired writings, and personal experiences. We feel that everything we are, and everything we receive is a gift from our creator.

THe Royals do not really use surnames the same way we do. They use Royal House Names and Title Names more than surnames.
The current Royal Family is of The Royal House to Windsor.
The Queen is a Windsor. Since she is on the throne, the royal house bears only her name. Incidentally, the name Windsor adapted during World War I; it is the name of their favorite residence. The family name used to be Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. But because of anti-German sentiment caused by the war, particularly the bombing of London bt 24 twin-engined GOTHA war planes, George V changed the family name. George was also very angry with his German cousin for bombing him as well and had no difficulties changing the name.
Elizabeth's husband is Philip of the Royal House of Schlesweig-Holstein-
Sonderburg-Glucksburg.
The Danish prince took his English relatives' name of Mountbatten when he became a naturalized British citizen. Mountbatten had originally been the more German-sounding Battenberg.
Charles is a Windsor because he is the heir. He also is Prince of Wales, so his family is known as the Wales. William and Harry are often referred to as William Wales and Harry Wales in the military.But all of them can use the name Mountbatten-Windsor, or Windsor for short.
Anne is Mrs. Timothy Laurence. Her husband doesn't have a title. And Anne likes being known as Anne , The Princess Royal, Mrs.Timothy Laurence.
Andrew is Duke of York. Although he and his family can be known as Mountbatten-Windsors or just Windsor, they are identified by their title name of York. Using the title is just a way of differentiating a branch of the family from another.
Edward and his wife Sophie are identified as the Wessexes, after their title. But their children are known as Mountbatten-Windsor or Windsor because their parents chose that option.
Here is the official explanation from http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page5657.... :
"People often ask whether members of the Royal Family have a surname, and, if so, what it is.
Kings and princes were historically known by the names of the countries over which they and their families ruled. Kings and queens therefore signed themselves by their first names only, a tradition in the United Kingdom which has continued to the present day.
