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. I think, currently, they may marry a Catholic (this is new) but their children would have to be raised Anglican or they would be ineligible to ascend to the throne. Anyone in line of succession must get the reigning sovereign's permission to convert.
