Members of the Royal Family can be known both by the name of the Royal house, and by a surname, which are not always the same. And often they do

Before 1917, members of the British Royal Family had no surname, but only the name of the house or dynasty to which they belonged.
Kings and princes were historically known by the names of the countries over which they and their families ruled. Kings and queens therefore signed
themselves by their first names only, a tradition in the United Kingdom which has continued to the present day. For the most part, members of the Royal
Family do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.

for the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

the character of the Princesses’ delightful canine family’ and ‘a born sentimentalist’. A second Corgi was acquired called Jane who had puppies,
two of which, Crackers and Carol, were kept.
For her eighteenth birthday, The Queen was given a Corgi named Susan from whom numerous successive dogs were bred. Some Corgis were mated with dachsunds
