Just come across a picture on old photograohic card, with hand written meesge on the back. The message reads : With our best wishes for xmas 1939 may God bless you and protect you Elizabeth R and George RI - the photo is by Raphael Tuck and Sons photo under Elizabeth reads Cecil Beaton and under George it reads Hugh Cecil. From what I can see it is a Picture of The Queen Mother in 1939 and George VI in Naval uniform am i right ? What i can't understand is why it would be Elizabeth R and George R I . Can someone please help.

I reckon that's very valuable. The R stands for Rex or Regina, so I believe.
Have a look for some royalty collector sites and see what they say. Even postcard collectors or greetings card collectors would love it. Good find!

Elizabeth R= Elizabeth, Royal.
George RI = George, Royal Institution of Great Britain.
You would be right about it being the Queen Mother and George VI. They were the reigning monarchy at the time. They would have sent these out to people to boost morale during World War II.
Sounds like it's worth keeping. I doubt many would have survived. I don't think my Great-Grandad kept one, but then again he may have chucked it - he worked with the Queen Mothers horses at the time and I'm not sure he thought too much of them. I know for a fact he couldn't stand Princess Margaret!

So many answers. So few are correct.
"RI" is the Latin abbreviation for "Rex Imperator", or, King Emperor. The empire being India.
Elizabeth R was the present Queen's mother. "R" stands for "Regina" (Queen in Latin)
The eldest daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth is the present Queen Elizabeth II

The R stands for Regina (Rex in Latin). It means King or Queen and implies ruler.
It is a title formally adopted by the english royalty as a form of surname. Literally, Elizabeth Regina would be interpreted as 'Elizabeth who rules'.
Thus Elizabeth Regina and George Regina. The 'I' on the Regina for George refers to his position as Queens consort and identifies him as not being a true 'King'.

WE SOLD AN ITEM LIKE THIS AROUND 5 YEARS AGO WITH BOCA - WORTH GETTING VALUED
I BELIEVE IT SOLD FOR 300K OR NEAR ENOUGH - HOWEVER THIS IS ONLY VALUABLE TO THOSE WHO ARE COLLECTORS AND ITEMS LIKE THIS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO PRICE
THIS IS A FANTASTIC FIND AND WOULD BE WORTH INSURING
