William and Harry use the last name Wales. Royalty probably doesn't need last names though.
Sorry to contradict you, Only Charles is a Prince of Wales, this title is given in a ceremony to the next heir to the throne. The royal family adopted Windsor as their family name at the beginning of WWI because of some of their ancestors being from the Saxe-Cobourg the German royal family. Philip, the Queen husband adopted the name Mountbatten because he was raised by the Duke of Mountbatten an admiral of the Royal Navy. The children use the name Windsor but also can use Mountbatten-Windsor if they wish.
