King George V changed the house name of the British Royal Family from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. He also relinquished all German titles and styles on behalf of his relatives who were British subjects. In 1931, the Statute of Westminster separated the crown so that George ruled the dominions under a separate title for each land.
