It was ruling as a monarch by divine right.
England hasn't had an exclusive king for about 400 years. In 1945, King George VI (the father of the present queen) was the ruling monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (which includes England). He was also king of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and many other countries which were part of the British Empire.
The ruling Monarch of the time was Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) and seeing that she never married, there was no King of England at the time.
King Louis XVI and his Queen Marie Antoinette.
