FAQ of the moment:

The “R” after the Elizabeth’s signature stands for Regina (Reh-JINE-ah), the Latin word for queen.

India became a part of the British Empire during the reign of Queen Victoria. As the Empress of India, Queen Victoria signed her name Victoria R-I, or Victoria Regina-Imperiatrix.  Her predecessors, all kings, signed their names with a male version: Rex-Imperator.
