Surname usage Under an Order-in-Council in 1960, the non-titled descendants of Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were given the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, combining the dynasty name of Elizabeth and the assumed surname of Philip. However, although titled, the Queen's children have all decided to use the surname also in honour of their father. For their banns for their first marriages, both William's aunt, Anne, Princess Royal and his own father, Charles, Prince of Wales, used Mountbatten-Windsor rather than Windsor. Mountbatten-Windsor is now treated as being the surname of all descendants of the Queen and the Duke except those, like the children of the Princess Royal, who have a new paternal surname (in that case, "Phillips").[24] An Order-in-Council is an executive order issued in Commonwealth Realms operating under the Westminster system. ...

As with Royal Family tradition, Prince William used "Wales" as a last name during his years of education, as has Prince Harry. William's York cousins in turn use "York" (other Royal Families also use their parents' title as their own working surname). 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.
Future Should his father succeed to the throne, William will automatically and immediately inherit the titles of Duke of Rothesay and Duke of Cornwall and it is expected that he will be invested as Prince of Wales, although this is not automatic.

The issue of what title, if any, Prince William might receive prior to his accession to the throne is vague - Buckingham Palace has refused to speculate as to what title might be given to Prince William in the future - however, since it is usual for a title to be awarded upon marriage, this is not an imminent consideration. In the past, it would have been very likely that he would be created a Royal Duke upon marriage, however, considering the move in making The Prince Edward Earl of Wessex upon marriage (with the promise of a Dukedom in the fullness of time), and the expectation that William will become Prince of Wales in time, precedents of the past may no longer apply.[citation needed] This article is about the nobility title. ...
