Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ??
When in England, she is a member of the Church of England (Anglican); when in Scotland, she is a Presbyterian and normally attend Crathie parish Church...
Both denominations are part of the Christian Faith (religion).
=========================
The British monarch (when in Scotland) is simply a member of the Church (she is not, as in England, its Supreme Governor).
The monarch’s coronation oath includes a promise to "defend the security" of the Church of Scotland. She is formally represented at the annual General Assembly by a Lord High Commissioner (unless she chooses to attend in person). The role is purely formal.

Her Majesty The Queen is not the head of the Church of England as many people have stated, She is the Supreme Governor on Earth of the Church of England. She is the Titular Head of the Church. The Anglican Church does not regard itself as Protestant as the church of scotland, but rather the English version (reformed) of the Catholic Church. Confused? Not a simple subject!

Queen Elizabeth II is right away descended from King James I, who replaced into Queen Elizabeth I's first cousin two times bumped off. hence, if i'm counting the generations wisely, Elizabeth II is a first cousin fourteen cases bumped off of Elizabeth I.

Anglican, the COE is Anglican. Henry VIII broke from the Catholic church when the pope wouldn't allow to divorce. Though the Act of Settlements says an heir can't be Catholic or marry a Catholic and the spouse must be protestant. Anglicans have more in common with Catholics than Protestants.

The Queen of England is head of the Church of England. This would be a better question to ask if and when Charlie gets on the throne, what religion he proposes to be, it appears he want to be known as Defender of All Faiths......yeh right, like that will work.

I didn't know that she was the head of the Church of England, either. So don't worry.
I've never really thought about the queen all that much.

She is the "Supreme Governor of the Church of England (styled Defender of the Faith)"
Thus one would assume she is a member of the Church of England

I would imagine she's a Christian since she's head of the Church of England.

Being Head of the Anglican Church of England, one assumes her to be Christian.
Why ask ?
