When Charles uses a surname, it is Mountbatten-Windsor, although, according to letters patent dated February 1960, his official family name is Windsor
Apparently. From Wiki.

But yes, I believe titles can also be used in place of surnames.

Bit like the Duke of Wellington. He is usually referred to as Wellington, not as Wellesley when you read about him.
