The real surname of the English royal family is Wettin. The current Queen of England was a direct descent from the House of Wettin. However, high anti-German feeling among the people during World War I prompted the Royal Family to abandon all titles held under the German crown and to change German-sounding titles and house names (Wettin) for English-sounding versions (Windsor). On 17 July, 1917, a royal proclamation by George V provided that all agnatic descendants of Queen Victoria would be members of the House of Windsor with the personal surname of Windsor. The name Windsor has a long association with English royalty through the town of Windsor and Windsor Castle.
After Queen Elizabeth II's marriage to Prince Philip Mountbatten, she officially announced that all their royal descendants will use the surname of Mountbatten-Windsor. When Prince Charles becomes King, he will be the first monarch to establish the House of Mountbatten-Windsor.

Her last name is Windsor. 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 dynasty name of Elizabeth and the assumed surname of Philip. However, although 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 treated as being the surname of all descendants of the Queen and the Duke[citation needed] except those, like the children of the Princess Royal, who have a new paternal surname (in that case, "Phillips").

She doesn't have one - once a king or queen is crowned, their regnal name (in her case, Elizabeth II) is their full legal name.
She was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor. Her descendants use Moutbatten-Windsor as their last name.
