The King will become the first British monarch to pray publicly with the Pope since the Reformation 500 years ago during a state visit to the Holy See next week.

Re: Cardinal Robert Prevost becomes Pope Leo XIV
No discussion … he can’t continue to be king. That was established in England in 1701 and applied to GB and then the UK in successive Acts of Union.
I guess you could discuss whether he would be asked to abdicate formally or whether the law is such that he would simply cease to be king automagically.
