Catholic Answer:
Becoming a Catholic is not to be taken lightly nor for the wrong reasons. Unless you fully believe in Catholicism and intend to live a Catholic life, you do not have a legitimate reason for converting. You cannot, as the previous answerer noted, simply declare yourself to be a Catholic and become one. You must undergo classes and, possibly, be baptized if you are not validly baptized already. You, also, can be married in the Church if you are a Protestant and wish to marry a Catholic.

The King or Queen of England is, by law, not permitted to be a Catholic. If they convert, then they must step down from the crown as the English monarch is head of the Church of England, a protestant church.

Anyone in line of succession must get the reigning sovereign's permission to convert.
