Technically she doesn't have a surname she is HM Queen Elizabeth II. She is a member of the House of Windsor. Her son, The Prince of Wales has indicated that when he inherits the throne it may become the House of Mountbatten-Windsor. It would have become the House of Mountabatten but George V indicated that he'd like Windsor to remain.

Windsor, when she needs to use it. It is a relatively recent development. Up until 1917, the British Royal Family had no surname. King George V declared Windsor to not only be the name of the "house" (or dynasty), but also their surname. Queen Elizabeth II's direct decendents are Mountbatten-Windsor, reflecting Prince Philip's surname.

Her final call replaced into Mountbatten from her marriage in 1947 until 1952. as quickly as she grew to become Queen, Churchill insisted she substitute it back to Windsor. After the beginning of Prince Andrew a bishop preached a sermon complaining that basically illegitimate little ones use

Windsor is her maiden name.
She then became Mountbatten-Windsor when she married. So the family are the Mountbatten-Windsors.
However, the Royal House is known as the House of Windsor, because Prince Philip's name cannot be added, as his family line have no claim to the throne.

Queen Elizabeths father was born Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
Prince Philip was a member of the German House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg
Prince Philip was required to convert from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism, to renounce his allegiance to the Hellenic Crown, and to become a naturalised British subject.[5] He renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles on 18 March 1947 and decided to take the name Mountbatten
However the royalty took on the name windsor to distance themselves from their german heritage.

The "ll" which comes after her name elizabeth, has become part of her name and has taken over her former surname, windsor. So she is now elizabeth ll.

Her last name is Windsor, although she really doesn't use it. (Why would she need to? I mean, is anyone likely to ask, "Which Elizabeth II are you?")
