Personal Reign | ||
 | ||
Elizabeth II held numerous titles and honours, both during and before her time as monarch of each of herCommonwealth realms. Each is listed below; where two dates are shown, the first indicates the date of receiving the title or award (the title as Princess Elizabeth of York being given as from her birth), and the second indicates the date of its loss or renunciation.

| Reference style | Her Majesty |
| Spoken style | Your Majesty |
Elizabeth was originally styled "Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth of York".[1]Between her father's accession in 1936 and her marriage in 1947 she was known as "Her Royal Highness The Princess Elizabeth".[2] From her marriage until her accession in 1952 she was styled "Her Royal Highness The Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh".[3][4] Throughout her reign she was styled "Her Majesty The Queen".[5]
Upon Elizabeth's accession to the throne, she was asked by her Private Secretary what herregnal name would be, to which she responded, "My own, of course—what else?"[6] Until 1953, her official style wasby the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Queen,Defender of the Faith.[7] She wasproclaimed as queen using that title in Canada and South Africa,[8][9] whereas, in Australia,[10] New Zealand, and the United Kingdom,[11] she was proclaimed asQueen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
A decision was reached by Elizabeth's prime ministers at theCommonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference of 1952, whereby the Queen would accord herself different styles and titles in each of her realms, reflecting that in each state she acted as monarch of that particular country,[12] regardless of her other roles. Canada's preferred format was:Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Canada and of Her other realms and territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.[13] However, as Australia wished to have the United Kingdom mentioned in all the Queen's titles,[14] the resolution reached was a designation that included the United Kingdom as well as, for the first time, separate reference to the other Commonwealth realms. Thereafter, separate but parallelroyal styles and titles acts were passed in each of theCommonwealth realms, granting Elizabeth a distinct but similarly constituted title in each state,[12] meaning that when Elizabeth was crowned in the same year, she held seven separate titles.
With further evolution of the Commonwealth since that time, Elizabeth held at the time of her death 15 different regnal titles, one for each of the current Commonwealth realms. In all realms other than Canada and Grenada, the reference to the United Kingdom has been removed; Australia doing so in 1973,[15] in contrast to the Australian government's position 20 years earlier. Traditionally, the Queen's titles are listed in the order in which the realms other than the United Kingdom (the original realm) first becameDominions—namely, Canada (1867), Australia (1901), and New Zealand (1907)—followed by the rest in the order in which the former colony became an independent realm: Jamaica (1962), The Bahamas (1973), Grenada (1974), Papua New Guinea (1975), the Solomon Islands (1978), Tuvalu (1978), Saint Lucia (1979), Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (1979), Belize (1981), Antigua and Barbuda (1981) and Saint Kitts and Nevis (1983).
Owing to her status, Elizabeth II was usually just known as "The Queen" across the world.[16][17][18][19]
The Queen's British styles and titles were read out at her funeral byDavid White,Garter Principal King of Arms, as follows:
Thus it hath pleased Almighty God to take out of this transitory life unto His Divine Mercy the late Most High, Most Mighty, and Most Excellent Monarch, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, and Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.[20]
The Queen's New Zealand styles and titles were read out at the State Memorial Service at the Wellington Cathedral on 26 September by Phillip O'Shea,New Zealand Herald of Arms Extraordinary, as follows:
The Royal style and titles of Her Late Majesty, for use in relation to New Zealand and all other territories for whose foreign relations
Her Government in New Zealand is responsible, were—
Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
Sovereign of The Order of New Zealand, Sovereign of The New Zealand Order of Merit, and Sovereign of The Queen's Service Order.
Now, it is upon His Majesty King Charles III, King of New Zealand, that these styles, titles and honours have devolved.
God save the King![21]
Though the situation was the same in every one of the Queen's realms beyond the United Kingdom, only within Scotland did the titleElizabeth II cause controversy as there had never been anElizabeth I in Scotland. In an act of sabotage, newRoyal Mail post boxes in Scotland, bearing theroyal cypherEIIR,were vandalised, after which, to avoid further problems, post boxes and Royal Mail vehicles in Scotland bore only theCrown of Scotland. A legal case,MacCormick v. Lord Advocate (1953 SC 396), was taken to contest the right of the Queen to title herselfElizabeth II within Scotland, arguing that to do so would be a breach of theAct of Union. The case, however, was lost on the grounds that the pursuers had not title to sue the Crown and the numbering of monarchs was part of theroyal prerogative, and thus not governed by the Act of Union.Winston Churchill suggested that future British monarchs should be numbered according to either their English or Scottish predecessors, whichever number is higher.[22]
At the opening ceremony of thedevolvedScottish Parliament in Edinburgh in 1999, attended by the Queen, thePresiding OfficerLord Steel said at the close of his opening address: "It is good that today, once again, we the elected representatives of the people are able to welcome your majesty, not only as Queen of the United Kingdom, but seated as you are among us, to greet you in the historic and constitutionally correct manner, with warmth and affection, as Queen of Scots."[23] In 2002Winnie Ewing, then president of theScottish National Party, wrote to the Queen asking her to adopt the titleElizabeth I in Scotland.[24]
Other realms adopted the style "Queen Elizabeth II" despite never having been ruled byQueen Elizabeth I of England.
