EDITORS COMMENTS
July 1917: A New Identity for the British Monarchy - In the midst of the First World War, the British Royal Family prudently changed their name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. This decision was made in response to growing anti-German sentiment during the conflict, as the original name shared the same Germanic roots as the enemy. This Punch magazine cartoon captures the significance of the name change, with King George V and Queen Mary standing before a mirror, reflecting on their new identity. The image is a poignant reminder of the profound impact of war on national identity and the lengths to which leaders will go to distance themselves from their enemies. This historical cartoon is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offering a unique perspective on the events of World War One and the British monarchy.
