Oh, come on, Philip! I knew all that! Just having fun.

I even knew that the name was originally "Tewdwr" and/or "Tudur".

(Have to admit I don't know where George V came up with the name "Windsor" other than, presumably, from Windsor Castle. Did it ever have any actual royal associations before that?)
