Queen Elizabeth II is of the House of Windsor, but does not have a traditional last name like most people. "Windsor" is often referred to as her last name. Her husband's last name is Mountbatten, so some would say that technically, her last name would be Mountbatten. She did acknowledge this by giving her youngest two sons (Andrew and Edward) the last name of "Mountbatten-Windsor", though not Princess Anne or Prince Charles.

Which Elizabeth are you refering to? Queen Elizabeth the First had the last name of Tudor. Queen Elizabeth the Second has the last name of Windsor.

The Royal Family does NOT have a last name. They are referred to by their lineage, called a "house".

WHen William and Harry started school, they decided to refer to their last name as "Wales" (from William of Wales.) But, that's not their last name - nor their real title.

In the early part of the century, the King chose to refer to his line as "House of Windsor". It had been known as such until Queen Elizabeth officially changed it to "House of Mountbatten-Windsor." It will probably stay that way until there is a new paternal blood line introduced (such as Philip's bloodline - which added "Mountbatten." Usually this only occurs when there is a reigning Queen who marries someone - because Kings carry the same bloodline as the previous monarch.

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has no last name. She is the monarch of a realm.

HM is often referred to as a Windsor, however, she is a married woman to a man with the last name of Mountbatten. When she was a child and prior to Dec. 1936 when her Uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated her father and mother were known as The Duke and Duchess of York, she was Her Royal Highness The Princess Elizabeth of York.

HM has no passport as she does not require one. Passports are issued by Her (in Her name) for Her subjects, so she does not need to validate herself. In Her person is England.

She signs official papers as:
Elizabeth R

This means, Elizabeth Regina (Elizabeth a reigning monarch)

Therefore, HM is simply known as:
Elizabeth II

If you mean Elizabeth the First, it's Elizabeth Tudor

If you mean the current Queen, it's Elizabeth Windsor

Windsor. The present Royal Family belongs to the House of Windsor.

OK, here's where the confusion lies: Her last name IS Windsor. Her family used to be Saxo-Coburg, but they changed their name to Windsor during the first world war to make themselves sound less German and more English. Her husband is Mountbatten, but the royal name will remain Windsor...as in House of Windsor.

Actually Windsor is a royal name and the Queen is married to Phillip Mountbatten or Battenberg in the old country (Greece). Technically she is of the house of Windsor but no longer in name.

Its never been mentioned now that I think of it. Winsor is not her name..The House of Winsor is her family distinction. It was originally The House of Saxe-Cogburg and Gotha was changed on July 17,1917 during world war I because of it's german heritage. Now how would it have looked for German royalty sitting on an English thrown? It was changed by King George the 5th his reign was 1910-1936. Queen Elizabeth married King George the 6th in 1923 She became Queen in 1936 after her husbands death and his brother Edward the 8th abdicateed the throne.. For her last name.... IT IS BOWES-LYONS hope this helps you!!
