Well, Monpezat is not just a "{French" name but would, under ordinary circumstances, be the surname of Joachim and Fredrick (if the Daniush royals used surnames), so down the road, it would be logical for their progeny to somehow incorporate that name, and a countly title was thrown into it for good measure. Which brings up a point, was a letter patent ever issued that retains The Queen's family name (which I cannot spell forgive me) or will the dynasty change to Monpezat when Fredrick ascends to the throne?
