People often ask whether members of the Royal Family have a surname, and, if so, what it is.
It was declared in the Privy Council that The Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor.
[Since HRH The Prince William has the "style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince", he is of the House of Windsor; He is Prince William of Wales, as in the past some other royalty travelled using a lesser surname, likewise he might travel using the name William Cornwall (since his father is the Duke of Cornwall So, though he may "use" a surname, he does not have a surname as such.]
The surname Mountbatten-Windsor first appeared on an official document on 14 November 1973, in the marriage register at Westminster Abbey for the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

Mountbatten-Windsor
"Under an ambiguously-worded Order-in-Council issued in 1960, the name Mountbatten-Windsor is the personal surname of some of the descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. It differs from the official name of the British Royal Family or Royal House, which remains Windsor. The adoption of this surname does not apply to members of the royal family who are not descended from the Queen. The Order specifically applies the surname to those descendants of the Queen not holding Royal styles and titles but in practice it is used by all the British Royal Family descended from Queen Elizabeth II as their surname, as shown at the marriages of the Duke of York and the Princess Royal, when both used Mountbatten-Windsor in their entries in the marriage registers."
