Best Answer

The mother of Queen Elizabeth II -- also Queen Elizabeth -- was the wife of a reigning monarch, King George VI. Her standing depended on her being married to the king. She had no constitutional monarchical duties.

Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch. She comes to the throne as the daughter of the king. Since there was a previous reigning monarch by the name of Elizabeth, this queen gets the number II (2).
