What would happen if the Church of England came to an end?
The Church of England is unlikely to come to an end in our lifetime, but if it did some of the flock would join other Protestant denominations or the Catholic Church.

The British monarchy would make adjustments in its rules and traditions, but life would go on.

Is Prince William Anglo-Catholic or Episcopalian?
He is of the Anglican, or as we style it, Episcopal faith. In England they use the cipher C.O.E. (Church of England) in the U.S. this stands for Corps of Engineers- a part of the Army. I can"t imagine Queen Bess II in a construction helmet with the stylized fort design up front! Kidding aside- the entire Royal Family=- of England, are Anglican, or Episcopal.AnswerActually, Episcopalians are not the same as the Church of England - they are a separate Protestant Church alhough both Churches belong to the Anglican Communion and are in full communion with each other. The term 'Anglo Catholic' refers to a small branch of the Church of England that maintains Catholic-style liturgy, and are Catholic in all but name, but reject the authority of the pope in favour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (NOT Queen Bess - which is quite offensive), who is by office the Supreme Governor under Christ of the Church of England. HM the Queen's preferred style of worship is very 'middle of the road' Church of England as this is the style which is offered at the royal chapel in her Scottish Balmoral retreat as well as the Chapel Royal at Windsor. Therefore, as William will one day become king, and Governor under Christ of the Church of England, his style of worship will be similar to HM the Queen's style which cannot, for reasons of uniting the Church, be eiither extreme Anglo Catholic nor Charismatic Evangelical.So William is neither Anglo Catholic nor Episcopalian, but a practising member of the Church of England. However this Church, despite being separate from the Episcopalians, is a sister Church of the Episcopalians in the USA that both come under the Anglican umbrella.
