although, now that the Queen Mum has passed, will Elizabeth II be called
that at some point?

It is highly unlikely. In UK usage:

- Queen Regnant: a queen who is queen in her own right
- Queen Consort: a queen who is queen because she's married to the
king
- Queen Dowager: someone who was a Queen Consort, but the king in
question has died
- Queen Mother: an informal title for a Queen Dowager who is the
mother of the current sovereign.

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was not queen in her own right (not a
Queen Regnant), but rather was married to the reigning king, George VI
(hence she was a Queen Consort). When G6 died, she became a Queen
Dowager (along with her mother, still living), and since her daughter
succeeded to the throne, also Queen Mother.

Elizabeth II is not the wife of a king, but rather queen in her own
right -- she's not a Queen Consort but rather a Queen Regnant. If her
husband, Prince Philip, dies, she will still be Queen Regnant. The
only way she can stop is by abdication via Act of Parliament, or by
her own death.

It would be possible for her to abdicate. Anyone's title and style is
up to the sovereign, so a then King Charles III or King William VI
could give her the title "Queen". But she's stated in multiple
interviews that she has no intention of abdicating. Further, the
practice has been that deposed kings no longer have the royal titles
or styles (Prince Edward the Duke of Windsor, various deposed earlier
kings), and the queens of the Netherlands who abdicated became
Princess Whoever.

So it's extremely unlikely on two grounds.

Writing "Queen Mothers" instead of "Queen Mother's" one suspects he also
believes there are two of them, as on the note....
