It is simply Windsor. The surname of Mountbatten-Windsor only applies to descendants of the Queen and Prince Philip who are *not* a prince or princess. These were the terms of the change made in 1960 after the birth of Prince Andrew. The name Mountbatten-Windsor is not currently used by anyone, as all of those potentially affected are either an HRH or use a different surname from their father (Anne's children). If Prince Harry or Prince Edward have sons, then their sons (the grandsons of the princes) will be called Mountbatten-Windsor.

What Is Prince Charles Last Name Answers

His second name is Windsor, although his father Prince Philip is of the Mountbatten family, the Queen has kept the name Windsor for all her male descendants so there is no doubt that it is Windsor.
It is definitely not Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which was the name given to the royal family by Prince Albert when he married Queen Victoria.
That name was dropped in 1917 by King George V because it sounded too German. This was of course in the height of World War One when anti German feeling was running high, and the royal family were in danger of being turned against by the masses.

His full name is (without titles) is Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor. The official name of the royal family is Windsor, and several members use that as their last name. If he becomes king, he will no longer officially have a last name, because kings don't.

Mountbatten-Windsor
Dad is (Prince) Philip Mountbatten. Mom is (Queen) Elizabeth Windsor.
Typically, because Queen outranks Prince/Duke, the Windsor part is what sticks.
