Once Queen Elizabeth II took the throne, she and Prince Philip (whose last name is Mountbatten) decided that their particular branch would contain names that reflect both of their ancestries: Mountbatten-Windsor. The custom didn’t last long, though.
When Prince William and Prince Harry entered the military, they took the last name of Wales, after their father’s title, the Prince of Wales. The tradition seemed to stick, as it was announced back in September when Prince George began school that he would go by “George Cambridge.” His name not only honors his parents’ titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but it’s also believed that this seemingly ordinary designation allows him to blend into the classroom more easily.
