I came across this. It seems that at least one legal document requires the monarch to be "Her Majesty".

So, like, obviously that's not an acceptable situation. Which leaves a clear solution...

"Her Majesty" literally

It is actually in the Jamaican constitution:

[…]
Chapter IV. The Governor-General
27. Establishment of office of Governor-General
There shall be a Governor-General of Jamaica who shall be appointed by Her Majesty and shall hold office during Her Majesty's pleasure and who shall be Her Majesty's representative in Jamaica.
[…]
Chapter V. Parliament
Part 1. Composition of Parliament
34. Establishment of Parliament
There shall be a Parliament of Jamaica which shall consist of Her Majesty, a Senate and a House of Representatives.
[…]
Part 2. Powers of Parliament
[…]
60. Assent to Bills
1. A Bill shall not become law until the Governor-General has assented thereto in Her Majesty's name and on Her Majesty's behalf and has signed it in token of such assent.
[…]

There are probably more places, but these stipulate clearly that "Her Majesty" ist part of the Parliament of Jamaica and the Her Majesty's assent is required to let a Bill (including Bills that change the Constitution of Jamaica … e.g. changing "Her Majesty" to "His/Her Majesty") become law and thus actually change anything. Also there is the question whether "Her Majesty's pleasure" can continue after Her Majesty's death of if the Governor-General needs to be confirtmen by the new Queen.

Legal matters can be quite interesting stuff. :-)

but the title

is not HRM!

It is HRH ie Her/His Royal Highness or Her/His Majesty - only the Sovereign is referred to in this manner, there is no acronym in general use for the latter which in any case would be HM, no R, so HM The Queen/King.
