Her Royal Highness

Does Queen Elizabeth have a last name? Or Charles or Harry or the other one? I've never heard anyone talk about royalty with a last name. Maybe being that famous means you don't need one, like Madonna.

Windsor

And, I'm serious about that. The last name change came about sometime after Victoria.

Is Prince William "the other one"? I think Harry is usually given that distinction, as William is a hottie and the heir apparent. :-)

Actually Mountbatten-Windsor. It was hyphenated when Elizabeth married Prince Phillip of Greece. And before that it was something incredibly German and was changed to Windsor only to make it sound less German. And I ask, what is so wrong with a German name?
