Surname usage
Under an Order-in-Council in 1960, the non-titled descendants of Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were given the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, combining the surnames of Elizabeth and Philip. However, though titled, the Queen's children have all decided to use the surname also in honour of their father. For their banns for their first marriages, both William's aunt, Anne, Princess Royal and his own father, Charles, Prince of Wales, used Mountbatten-Windsor rather than Windsor. Mountbatten-Windsor is now officially treated as being the surname of all descendants of the Queen and the Duke except those, like the children of the Princess Royal, who have a new paternal surname (in that case, "Phillips").
As with Royal Family tradition, Prince William used "Wales" as a last name during his years of education, as has Prince Harry. William's York cousins in turn use "York" (other Royal Families also use their parents' title as their own working surname). Past precedent however is that such title-surnames are dropped from usage in adulthood, with either title alone or name and Mountbatten-Windsor being used on legal documents and banns of marriage.

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 Queen's Maiden name was Windsor and at various times after marriage she has used Windsor or Windor-Mountbatten(sp), her husband's last name.

This would be embarrassing for the royal family as her husband's last name was originally von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg G l u c k s b e r g which he changed to Mountbatten which is the english form of the german name Battenberg. The original name of the House of Windsor was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and it was changed during WW1 when germans became unpopular. The royal family have been keen to disguise their german origins ever since but they have more relations in Germany than in Britain

Technically speaking, she does not have a last name.
