Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor Her given (first and middle) names are Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. Her family name by birth is Windsor. However, her paternal line formerly had the surname Saxe-Coburg-Gotha which was the surname of Queen Victoria's husband. In 1917, King George V, Elizabeth's great-grandfather, changed the family name to Windsor. On Elizabeth's marriage to her third cousin, Philip Mountbatten (the Duke of Edinburgh, formerly the Prince of Greece and Denmark), she did not adopt his family name but continued as a Windsor. Philip's surname Mountbatten is actually an anglicised version of Philip's mother's family/maiden name, Battenberg. However, by paternal descent, (his father was Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark), Philip is a member of the Danish-German House of "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg." If Philip had continued to use the surname of his father, and if Elizabeth had adopted her husband's surname on her marriage to him, her full name now would be
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. In addition to her personal name she has many titles. * For more information see Related Links below.

There hasn't been a queen of England since 1603 when Queen Elizabeth 1 died. Queen Elizabeth II is queen of the United Kingdom (which includes England), Australia, Canada and New Zealand plus various other places. Her title isn't usually abbreviated but when it is it would be QEII or QE2. On official documents it would be written Elizabeth Regina.
There was only one previous Queen Elizabeth, so Britain's current monarch is Queen Elizabeth II. (Although her mother was also named Elizabeth, she wasn't the queen. She was married to the king, but that doesn't automatically grant the title of queen as it does in fairy tales.)
