Initially, in Anglo-Saxon times, two Catholic sects, one from Ireland the other from Rome shared the UK. This was later rationalised and the Church of Rome was given precedence. In 1535 King Henry VIII fell out with Rome, made himself head of the Church of England ridding the country of rich monasteries and making a lot of money in the process.
From that time until now the reigning monarch has been the head of the church but most people don't bother about such things.
