Maybe because his father is Prince of Wales?

His full title is His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales. He uses Wales as his surname and is currently known in the army as Troop Commander Wales.

Prince Harry and Prince William both are styled His Royal Highness Prince Henry/William of Wales.

The shortened form is Henry Wales. they use the term Wales as their father is the Prince of Wales.

Therefore, Harry uses his last style as the last name

Prince Harry is properly styled His Royal Highness Prince Henry (Harry) of Wales. The "of Wales" part means that he is the child of the Prince of Wales (Prince Charles).

As he is a child of a future monarch it is not proper for him to use the names Windsor or Mountbatten-Windsor -- HM has decreed that only those without the title HRH have a last name.

Therefore, Harry uses the "last name" of his title as his last name.

He is Prince Harry of Wales so he uses it as his surname, as does Prince William.

As he is in-line to the prince of Wales he assumes that title. The same would apply for other titles, if the Duke of 'where ever' where to join the forces, even where his name John Jones, he would use 'where ever'. Man, I need to stop answering questions first thing in the morning, they start to make more sense as the day progress'...

It is his surname. It comes from the territory which accompanies the title. So he is Harry Wales, The Countess of Wessex is Sophie Wessex and so on.

He has been using "Wales" as a last name during his military career, presumably because he can and it's easier to write than "Mountbatten-Windsor".
