Harry's name ''is'' Prince Harry of Wales. Children of a prince of wales are called [Prince {name} of Wales], just as the children of a royal duke or earl are called [Prince/ss {name} of {title}]. Furthermore, his surname is ''not'' Windsor, nor is his father's, his brother's, the children of Prince Andrew and of Princess Anne. It is a commonly held mistake. The surnames of all the Queen's descendants (in the male line) is Mountbatten-Windsor and has been since an Order-in-Council in 1960. (The female line take the surname of ''their'' father.) Wikipedia style is to ''never'' use the surname of a royal, but their title, for many reasons, not the least of which is that most royals do not have a surname, and those that do often have a surname that is different from the Royal House (eg, Mountbatten-Windsor of the House of Windsor). As people were constantly getting this wrong and coming up with at the very least wrong surnames, frequently absurd surnames that don't exist, a major debate occured on Wiki, through talk pages, history pages and the wiki list. An agreed consensus was arrived at; in fact it wasn't a consensus, it was unanimous, to use the correct title, ''never'' the surname, in article titles. Wiki members are currently in the process of changing all references to all royals to follow the clear rules as agreed, which in this case is ''Prince Harry of Wales''. It involves as other examples, ''Prince Arthur of Connaught'', ''Princess Beatrice of York'', etc. The word 'prince' is not featured at the start of a name where a person has a clear title (eg., Andrew, Duke of York or where someone is a crown prince/ss. The title 'King', 'Queen', 'Prince', 'Grand Duke', etc is not used for a reigning monarch, or someone who ''has previously'' reigned, eg, Juan Carlos of Spain, etc. Titles were clarified after consultation with Buckingham Palace and other international royal palace officials.
