List of descendants of George V
Encyclopedia
This is a complete list of every known descendant of King George V, the founder of the House of Windsor
. The list includes deceased members, members who have become Catholic, royal and non-royal, legitimate and illegitimate members openly acknowledged by their parents. The table includes generational data and birthdays and image data. The list is meant to be more comprehensive than the Line of succession to the British throne
which is only a list of living legitimate non-Catholic descendants. The first generation is the six children of George V.

This list is complete as of 8 September 2009. King George V, creator of the House of Windsor has 87 known descendants in five generations.

Most of the first generation of illegitimate children on this table are all legitimatio per matrimonium subsequens or legitimated by subsequent marriage. Under British law, they and their descendants are forever excluded from the line of succession. In some cases they are also excluded from other titles. Other monarchies are different. Monaco, for instance recognizes these children as eligible for the throne. Suspected illegitimate children not openly acknowledged by members of the family are not included in the table.
The Catholics are from three families.
- Prince Michael married his Catholic wife in 1978, but his children were raised in communion with the Anglican church and are still eligible.
- The Duke of Kent's (#24) wife converted to Catholicism decades after they were married. Her later conversion does not exclude him. However his two sons have converted to Catholicism.
- The oldest son, George Windsor, has 3 children. Only Lady Amelia Windsor (#25) is still in the line, but it is presumed that she will follow the lead of her siblings and parents and be confirmed [in the Catholic faith] when she is older and hence will be excluded from succession.
- The second son, Lord Nicholas Windsor, married his wife in the Vatican, and his two children are baptised at a few weeks old. Upon baptism they are excluded from the line of succession.
Descendants of Edward VII
The House of Windsor was created from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a minor branch of the House of Wettin). Officially, Edward VII was the only British monarch to rule as a member of this house. George V is considered to be a member of the House of Windsor. The 7 living descendants of Lady Maud Duff are considered part of the extended British Royal family. The Norwegian royal family is the closest family to the Windsors.| Gen. | Succession | Name | Birth (& Death) | Issue |
