Per The Mirror's Richard Eden, sources revealed the Duke of Sussex entertained the idea of adopting Princess Diana's maiden name, Spencer, after discussing the matter with her brother, the 9th Earl Spencer, during a visit to the United Kingdom.
Eden states, "It is understood he discussed the issue with Earl Spencer, whose family seat is Althorp in Northamptonshire, during a rare visit to Britain, but was told that the legal hurdles were insurmountable. They had a very amicable conversation and Spencer advised him against taking such a step, said a friend of Harry."
He adds, "Nevertheless, the fact that he consulted the Earl over the issue, a proposal that would dismay his brother and father, is a vivid expression of the toxic rift with his family. Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname available to descendants of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. It combines the Royal Family's name of Windsor and the Duke of Edinburgh's adopted surname."
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, use Sussex as their last name. Harry was known as "Harry Wales" when then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana held the royal title of Prince and Princess of Wales.
Per the BBC, upon stepping back from their duties as senior royals, the couple were allowed to keep their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles. However, they are no longer addressed as His or Her Royal Highness (HRH). Additionally, Harry had to give up all of his military titles after a decade-long career in the armed forces.
