Prince George and Princess Charlotte's new surname unveiled for first time at Queen's funeral
They are the Cambridge children no more: Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, now use the surname Wales.
The new surname was used for the first time Queen Elizabeth's funeral on Monday, also applying to the siblings' younger brother, Prince Louis, four, who was absent from his great-grandmother's funeral owing to his young age.
Wales was listed as the pair's surname in the Order of Service that was released ahead of the event.

Upon the Queen's death on September 8, Charles became King Charles, Camilla Queen Consort, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge the Prince and Princess of Wales, leading to the change in their three children's surname.
Kate is the first royal to be named Princess of Wales since Princess Diana, a poignant choice that is sure to be soothing to Prince William, who lost his mother to a car crash in Paris in 1997.
