What is Prince Philip's last name?

Answer 1

Prince Philip's surname is Mountbatten. He was born on 10 June 1921 to parents Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg. During World War I, his family changed their name from Battenberg to Mountbatten to separate themselves from the German name.

At birth he was: His Royal Highness Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. After his marriage to the Queen he became: His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Answer 2

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh is the husband and Prince Consort of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of The United Kingdom.

He is a member of the Royal house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg and was born in Greece into the Greek and Danish royal families.

In anticipation of his marriage to the then Princess Elizabeth he gave up his Greek and Danish royal titles and became a naturalised British citizen, adopting the surname Mountbatten.

Answer 3

Good question.

It is currently Mountbatten-Windsor, after his marriage to the Queen, but his name before was Mountbatten. Most royals either use Mountbatten-Windsor as their surname

eg. Philip Mountbatten-Windsor

Charles Mountbatten-Windsor

or their place name

eg. William Wales

Catherine Cambridge

Answer 4

His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was born royalty, as the Grandson of King George I of Greece, because he was born royalty he doesn't have a surname as such.

He was born Prince of Denmark and Greece, his grandsons the Princes William and Henry have used "Wales" as a last name for their time in the army and his granddaughters the Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have used "York" for a surname, so one might use Denmark and/or Greece for a surname for Prince Philip.

The Prince Philip is a member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, known as the House of Glücksburg, so the Surname Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg or just Glücksburg might be right.

To marry the than Princess Elizabeth The Prince Philip had to give up his foreign titles, so from March 18th 1947 to November 20th 1947 his name was Philip Mountbatten, Mountbatten was the last name of his Mother's older Brother Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Mountbatten is generally thought of as Prince Philip's Surname, his heirs by law will bare, when they are no longer royalty, the Surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

Answer 6
