Its ironic that everything Churchill did to save his precious empire in WW1 and WW2 actually hastened its demise. Hard to believe he even actually got the royal family to change their names. Before WW1 it was Saxe-Coburg (German) then they changed it to Windsor at his urging. Then as Prince Albert ascended to the throne in 1936 he convinced him to call himself George the 6th cuz Albert was "too Germanic".
