Best Answer

No, England does not have a King because the Queen's husband is not English, therefore can not be King of England. He is a prince instead.

Incorrect.

A King of England does not need to be English, King George I was a German prince, that could not even speak English!

It is because Queen Elizabeth II was the heir to her father King George VI whom had no sons, only daughters, hence making her first in line of succession as Britain does not have the 'Salic law of succession' that France, Russia, and the German states had which forbids females from succeeding to the thrown when a male relative is living. Only the laws which state that whom ever should be the eldest offspring of the monarch, or eldest offspring to an offspring or relative of the monarch with females coming after males regardless of birth order.

Not at the moment. Queen Elizabeth II is the current monarch but upon her death or abdication she will be succeeded by Prince Charles, who will then become king.
