James became James VI of Scotland in 1567 and became King of England in 1603. He reigned as king of Scotland, England and Ireland until his death in 1625. Note that although the crowns of Scotland and England were united under one monarch, James' attempts to create "Great Britain" as a new united country failed. Great Britain did not exist as a kingdom until 1707 under Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch.

Queen Elizabeth I was the last Queen (and Monarch) of England. Since 1603 there has only been a monarch of the United Kingdom. Many people find this very hard to believe. The Queen today has the official title of, 'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.'
None, she keeps corgis, not poodles. Also, the last queen of England was queen Anne, who became queen of Great Britain and Ireland in 1707. There has been no English monarch since then.

Yes, but the monarchy has been changed into a constitutional monarchy, making it more powerful than a regular monarchy. Another answer England has no "Kings". In 1801 England became part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and later in 1922 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. After the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688 when James II was overthrown and replaced by William of Orange. The new government enacted the English Bill of Rights which removed the absolute power of the monarch and transferred it to Parliament and the elected representative of the people. Under this Bill of Rights the monarch reigned as a Constitutional hereditary monarch with very little real powers. For the last 323 years the people of the United Kingdom have been happy to continue with this arrangement.
