The Privy Council established the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, the official advisor to the late Queen Elizabeth II, in 1960. It applied to the male-line descendants of Her Majesty and Prince Philip.
“The reality behind the new site is very simple — it’s a hub for the work the Sussexes do and it reflects the fact the family have, since the King’s coronation, the same surname for the first time. That’s a big deal for any family. It represents their unification and it’s a proud moment,” an insider told The Times.
