*** "Windsor" is normally omitted, because UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfWindsor (being a royal family) don't actually use a surname, the assumption presumably being that everybody already knows what family they're from. In situations where a surname is needed, such as the obligatory military service, British royals normally use their highest title as if it were a surname, combined with only their first name. As such, during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, Edward (Prince of Wales at the time) would have gone by "Edward Wales".
