George V reigned from 1910 to 1936 during a period when many other European royal families (to which he was largely related) were overthrown. Although he was brought-up-British, his ancestry was more German than British and, likewise his wife, Mary, also brought up in the UK, was a German Princess. With the backdrop of World War I they realised that for the British monarchy to survive it must become distinctly British. They changed the family name to Windsor and they started the process of the monarchy being-there-for-the-people rather than the reverse as, historically, it always had been.
