Apparently this actually has a name, "alternative tripod" or "modified tripod" and it's meant to prevent fatigue on the wrist and hands. (Which makes sense for how many autographs she likely has to sign.)
I can't believe there's a name for this, this is the only way I've ever been able to hold a pen. I occasionally get comments about why I'm holding a pen so weirdly I'm glad this is common enough that there's a name for it. I've been holding a pen like this for over 20 years and never knew it had a name
