Who will be Prince William's successor?
Prince William is second in line to the throne, after his father, Prince Charles.
Third in line is William's brother, Prince Henry.
However, it is unlikely that Henry will become King because William's children will come before Henry in the line of succession: first the male children, oldest to youngest; followed by the female children, oldest to youngest.
Unless William passes away with no children (and assuming his wife is not pregnant with the heir, in which case the heir would be king/queen and a regent would reign for him/her until he/she comes of age) the next on the throne after William will be William's eldest son, or his eldest daughter if he has no sons.

Did Kate Middleton become a princess when she married William?
No, she became the Duchess of Cambridge.
William and Mary were joint King and Queen of England, Ireland and Scotland in the late 17th century. William III or William of Orange was the son of Mary Henrietta Stuart who was the daughter of Charles I CHARLES I - MARY HENRIETTA - WILLIAM III Mary II was the daughter of James II from his first marriage to Anne Hyde. James was the son of Charles I CHARLES I - JAMES II - MARY II Therfore William and Mary were first cousins. They were also married and lived in the Dutch republic with William holding the title of Stadtholder (head of state) over the majority of the provinces within the dutch republic. When James II fled England in 1688 after being deposed by the English parliament It was decided to invite James's daughter Mary to take the English crown. Mary only agreed to this on the understanding that she and her husband William share the crown as joint regents. They were crowned in 1689 as William III and Mary II of England and Ireland (along with the titular crown of France) and one month later as William II and Mary II in Scotland.
What is Prince William's wife's last name?
Technically, their last name is Mountbatten-Windsor, although William and his brother use the surname Wales in their professional lives. However, as a Royal, if you have a title, you do not use a last name. They will be referred to as Prince William of Wales, Duke of Cambridge and Princess Catherine of Wales, Duchess of Cambridge. They also hold the titles Earl of Strathearn and Countess of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus and Baroness Carrickfergus.
What is Prince William and Harry's surname?
It's complicated.
The Queen has stipulated that all her male descendants who do not bear the titular dignity of Prince shall use Mountbatten-Windsor as their surname.
Willam and Harry, though, DO "bear the titular dignity of Prince".
For these cases, children generally use "Prince X of Y" where X is their given name and Y is their father's territorial designation. For William and Harry, their father is Prince Charles, who is the Prince of Wales, so they were "Prince William of Wales" and "Prince Harry of Wales".
This is normally dropped when such children reach adulthood and simply use their title. You need a last name when you might get confused with someone else. The likelihood of, say, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge getting confused with some other Prince William, Duke of Cambridge is pretty small.
However: William and Harry were both in the military, and not having a surname in the military is a little awkward. Both of them used "Wales" as their surname in a military context. William (as Duke of Cambridge) now has his own territorial designation; I'm not sure if he's been updated officially to "William Cambridge" in the military or not.

Why did King George VI's wife not become queen?
Just like in cards a King always trumps the Queen. In the case of British Monarchy, it follows suit just the same. Queen Elizabeth inherited her crown after her father passed, the King of England. So she is as high as it goes, the "King" card was lost. Since she married Philip and he is not of the Windsor blood, nor heir to the King of England- as his wife is- he can not trump her. So he is given the title of Prince of yada yada, which Queen Elizabeth gave him after she was the legal Queen for 5 years.
Now in the case of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. She can technically become Queen when he takes the throne, but she will have no ruling power.
If "King" Charles passes and Camilla is still alive, she is taken off the throne as well, as the eldest child of King Charles is of legal age to take the throne.
With "King" Wills and his wife Kate, she will become "Queen" Kate for as long as he is alive. If he passes while their eldest child is still a minor, she will retain the title until that child is of legal age to take the throne. She still will have no powers, but will keep the title. Surely someone else will step in and assist her and the minor child, and one may be appointed the "Regent"(head) King until the minor child is of age. If Prince William passes and there are no other children, Prince Harry will take over and "Queen" Kate will be dethroned.
