No, I think the House of Lords and the monarchs rulership over the Anglican Church mean the monarchy/nobility is still alive if not well.

the Anglican Church

Almost all semblance of religion long ago left the CoE, along with most of its worshippers. The "bishops" of that government-funded socio-cultural organization are government-appointed life peers. If the monarch is a sort of special patroness, that's practically a private affair. Antidisestablishmentarianism is dead, and whatever might be left of the old establishment will follow soon enough.

There was some hope for Sark, but now that's gone too.
