Mountbatten is Prince Phillip's surname - he was a Prince of Greece and Denmark at birth as a member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. He renounced his Greek and Danish titles and changed his surname to that of his British maternal grandparents to marry then Princess Elizabeth in 1947.
