Whats Prince Williams last name?
The Royals typically do not use a last name (like in marriage) but William’s last name is Mountbatten-Windsor. This is the last name of all of the descendents of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II (excluding females who marry out of family).
Windsor comes from the decision of George V in 1917. Before this change, the last name was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but after WWI, they changed the name to Windsor due to anti-German sentiment.
In the 1960s, the Queen created a surname for their direct descendants mixing the names Windsor (from George V) and Mountbatten (Prince Philip’s previous surname).
Mountbatten-Windsor is the name of men in the family and unmarried female descendents (Charles, William, Harry).
Royalty does not have surnames. When they are forced to use a last name they use their peerage name. William and Harry use Wales, Beatrice and Eugenie use York, and Louise and James use Wessex. —————— NONE OF THE CURRENT ROYALS USE WINDSOR (although the Queen used the name Windsor when she was age 18 in world war 2). Although the royals are of the “House of Windsor”, the use of Windsor as a surname is for more distant relations: the “non-royal male line descendents” of the originator of the House of Windsor (George V). There are 10 of them. Five are 2nd cousins of Prince Charles , and five are their children. Here are their names (without their titles): age 34 |Alexander Windsor (2nd cousin) * age 2 |Xan Windsor * age 46|George Windsor (2nd cousin) * – Catholic age 20|Edward Windsor * – Catholic age 16|Marina Windsor – Catholic age 13|Amelia Windsor – Catholic [once she gets older] age 38|Nicholas Windsor (2nd cousin) * – Catholic age 1|Albert Windsor * – Catholic age 30|Fr
