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.
