Early in my nursing career, I made a rookie mistake when I used the plural "We" when telling a patient it was time to take bath. The elderly man replied " Whats this we sh$t, you got mice in your pocket?". I laughed and never used it again.

The custom is to take the father's name for the house name so of course Elizabeth II is of the house of Windsor. Charles is free to change it like Queen Victoria's son did. Elizabeth's decision only counts for her lifetime.
