David Windsor.

Edward VIII, after today, will be
known as the Duke of Windsor. Such, in
any event. is the forecast from London.
The retiring sovereign is member of the
windsor family and is entitled to use
the family name in private life. Also,
by official action of the government he
has abandoned, he may adopt the duchal
recognition of his connection with that
family and its home.
But 1t is interesting to note that the
Windsor clan traces back only to July
10, 1917, on which date George v an
nounced the remuneration of all his Ger
man connections. The dynasty, it was
explained at the time, had become Eng
lish and wished to be considered Angli-
cized. Formerly, it had been regarded
as a branch of the House Of Hanover
or, definitely, as the House of SAKE
Coburg- Gotha. The little Saxon town
Of Victim was the traditional ancestral
seat. Windsor, royal residence since
william the Conqueror's day, now be-
comes genealogical as well as a geo.
graphical term.
