On HM Queen Elizabeth II's signature... She signs 'Elizabeth R' standing for the Latin 'Elizabeth Regina' ('Regina' meaning Queen). In Henry VIII's case... He would sign 'Henri R' (Henri, before the reformation) or 'Henry R' (after the reformation) the 'R' in this case means 'Rex', 'Rex being the Latin for King'.
