William and Harry used Wales as a last name while attending school and while in the military.
Beatrice and Eugenie used York as their last name when attending school.
George, Charlotte, and Louis started school using Cambridge, which was changed to Wales when Charles became king.
That's been the custom for a number of decades, probably since records became computerized. (Interestingly, when Anne, Andrew, and Edward were married, their surnames were filled in by the authorities as Mountbatten-Windsor, and when Anne appeared in court in regard to her dogs, her surname was recorded as Laurence)
Until there is proof that their names have been legally changed, the media should spend their time looking for that proof instead of wringing their hands in faux outrage.
And TO and/or TOW simply announcing it isn't proof, not after she proclaimed they were married in the garden, and he sat there silent letting her lie go unchallenged.
