  1. Yes they are Windsors, but during both Harry and William are performing duties with the Military they are know as Wales....not sure why.


  2. His father used to wear P.o.W. on his uniform, but he kept getting thrown in the guardhouse.

  3. As with Royal Family tradition, both Prince William and Prince Harry used "Wales" as a last name during his years of education, as has Prince Harry. Other Royal Families also use their parents' title as their own working surname. For example, both Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie use "York" as their surname during their years of education. Princess Eugenie goes by the name "Eugenie York" on Facebook. Past precedent, however, is that such title-surnames are dropped from usage in adulthood, with either title alone or name and Mountbatten-Windsor being used on legal documents and banns of marriage.

    Mountbatten-Windsor is the personal surname of some of the descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh under an ambiguously-worded Order-in-Council issued in 1960. 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.

  4. Well originally they are Saxe-Coburgs, they changed their name to Windsor during the 1914-18 war because it didn't look good us fighting the Germans while having a German Royal family.

  5. As a prince, he does not need a surname (which would be Mountbatten-Windsor, if needed)  Like his brother William, however, Harry often uses "Wales" in place of a surname when required.

  6. I noticed that but sorry I have no idea why - yes of course they are Windsors but maybe they just fancy wales for a change!
