For suffixes, click in the individual's name field, then on the pencil icon to the right (Edit Name), and you'll find the suffix field there.<br /><br />Not intuitively obvious, unfortunately, but they are there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192747480290514118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-25106411081594024182015-11-25T06:28:37.131-08:002015-11-25T06:28:37.131-08:00Why mess around with Royals? unless you are a dire...Why mess around with Royals? unless you are a direct descendant?<br />Cathy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461484882494138496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-47845147291613066562015-11-24T22:40:23.680-08:002015-11-24T22:40:23.680-08:00While the Royals normally use their styles and tit...While the Royals normally use their styles and titles, they do have a surname.<br /><br />"There is no evidence that Philip ever wanted to be called Prince Consort-let alone King Consort or King-and I do not believe he was particularly concerned about the actual name 'Mountbatten'. It was not his father's name. It was not his mother's name. It was the anglicized version of his maternal grandfather's name. What concerned Philip was the principle that a father be allowed to pass on his surname to his children....<br /><br /><br />Brandreth, Gyles, Philip and Elizabeth: Portrait of a Royal Marriage, New York, W.

When Princes William and Harry were in the military they used the last name Wales pulling that from their father's title as Prince of Wales. While the Queen belongs to the House of Windsor it would be improper to record that as a last name.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418266368479892269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-15983503168809988602015-11-24T14:34:19.047-08:002015-11-24T14:34:19.047-08:00Is she not Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor born 2...Is she not Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor born 21 April 1926? The rest are titles and styles.<br /><br />At her birth she was Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth of York. From 19 November 1947 until she became the monarch in 1952 her primary title was Duchess of Edinburgh. She became Queen of England, Duke of Normandy, Lord of Mann, Duke of Lancaster, Queen of multiple nations within the Commonwealth and many more titles.<br /><br />You would change her titles at the various dates she assumed the titles.<br /><br />I don't think any of the titles change her name.
