What was Princess Diana's full married name?

Princess Diana Francis (Spencer) Mountbatten-Windsor. However from what I have read royalty does not use sir names.

Thanks Thinker.

You're nearly correct, Thinker, although there's some confusion whether Charles is a "Windsor" or a "Mountbatten-Windsor."
.
When HM promulgated information about the changes to the family name, she specified that the name of the ruling house would remain "Windsor" and descendants of The Queen and Duke that were HRH Prince/sses were to be known as "Mountbatten-Windsor"
.
There has likely been confusion even among her children, as The Princess Royal signed one of her marriage licenses "Windsor" and another "Mountbatten-Windsor." It seems I recall Charles signing one or the other at various times also.
.
To further muddy the waters, it appears that William and Harry are using "Wales" as a surname, as seen on their military uniforms. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/theroyalfamily/2090945/Prince-William-set-for-showdown-with-drugs-baron-on-Royal-Navy-patrol-in-Caribbean.html

(also, "Princess" is still a title, not a name")

Yes, I know of this Mountbatten-Windsor name problem. It can get rather confusing for sure. I know that QEII wanted to keep the Winsor name yet recognize the duke. I think I was just trying to keep it simple and not confuse too many Americans.

bah - we Americans live a large portion of our lives confused... one more thing on the pile won't create too much of a burden...
