1917 name change

I've read that George V in 1917 decreed that all male line descendets
of Queen Victoria should bear thew surname Windsor, which of course at
that time meant himself and his sons; his uncle Arthur and cousin
Arthur and infant Alistair..........and of course his uncle Leopold's
family. So where the latter stand as regards this decree ? Surely he
did not expect Prince Charles Edward and his sons to adopt the name
Windsor, although that is what his decree said if taken literally.Ms
