All the kings and queens of England sign their names with their first name, and the intial R. R stands for Rex, which is latin for king, or in Victoria and Elizabeth's cases, Regina, which is latin for queen.

The 'R' stands for 'Regina', which is the Latin word for Queen. So EIIR literally means Queen Elizabeth II.

It stands for 'Regina' meaning queen in Latin. If it was a man it would be 'Rex' meaning king.

She caould not sing her name Regis or Rex (which means ruler or king) as a King could, because she was a woman. So she signed it with an "R"

"R" stands for "Regina". So, Her Majesty's signature essentially means "Elizabeth The Queen".
