“Well excuuuuuuuse me! LOL! Guess I missed a few.

But wouldn’t being the King of England embrace all of these? After all the King of England would, in fact, be the King of the United Kingdom?”

No, England is not the same as the UK. The United Kingdom is the nation-state. England is a nation within the UK.

Scotland + England + Wales = Great Britain.

Great Britain + Northern Ireland = The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Plus, Canada, Australia etc are obviously all independent nations of the UK.

However, if he is the King of England, isn’t he automatically the King of the United Kingdom?
