    R = Rex, or King of the United Kingdom
    I = Imperator, or Emperor (of India)

    Rex Imperator, King Emperor. The last man to hold that title.

    R I - isn't that George's title? "Regis Imperium" or something like that? My grandfather taught Latin - he's probably screaming at me from heaven right now :)
