technically, publically, they HAVE to be Church Of England (CofE)-- protestants, i think. they don't have a choice.
privately, we shall never know.
the Queen is also "defender of the faith". a label created a long time ago; England broke off with the Vatican thanks to Henry VIII when he divorced his first wife. the monarchs since then are not only the heads of states, but also the heads of faith. rubber stamp though. they hold no executable power without parliament.

They aren't all the members of the royal family. You forgot the queen's husband Philip, the Princesses of York, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne, Zara Phillips, etc
They're Anglican. Anglican is the Church of England.

The title "Defender of the Faith" was given to Henry VIII by the Pope for a paper he wrote supporting the Catholic Church. Henry later split from Rome but kept the title and his successors have all used it even though they have no right to it.
The Church is called the Church of England. In other parts of the world it is called the Anglican or Episcopalian Chuuch.

Officially Church of England (Anglican) Some 'minor royals' have converted to Roman Catholicism or have married Catholics. They renounced their right of succession.

The Church of England. AS the Queen is the head of it, it makes sense that she and her family practice it.

Since the Monarch of the UK is also the head of the Church of England (Anglican) what do you think?

Officially they're Protestants. That's why if you were to marry into the Royal family you would have to convert to said religion if you wern't already a member.
