No, it is not necessary but it would be extremely unlikely at present for a non-English person to become the monarch. Currently the first non-English person in the line of succession is James Carnegie, Duke of Fife, who is a Scot. He is fifty-fifth in line to the throne. The first non-British person in line is the present King Harald V of Norway who is sixty-second in line. A notable example from British History was King George I, who was born in Germany. He was fifty-second in line to the throne when he became King in 1714. The others who were more closely related to his predecessor, Queen Anne were unsuitable because they were Catholic or married to a Catholic.
