[I guess you could say Hanoverian rather than Windsor-Hanover, since Windsor was a made-up name to avoid the German-sounding connection of the royal family. The British, of course, eliminated the German royalty at the end of WW I, but for some odd reason which I cannot fathom, kept their own . . . ]
