It would not be asking too much for the official Head of the Church of England to favor the Christian faith. That would seem to be a necessary aspect of Charles' new position as King. Charles, however, has said that he does not want to be known as the Defender of the Faith; instead, he would prefer to known as the defender of faiths. Of course, I have no objection to the new King of England taking religious liberty seriously and pledging to defend that liberty for all British subjects. That would not conflict with his position as Head of the Church or the Royal Head of State. His assistance in this regard could prove useful. After all, we seem to be having some trouble with the governments respect for religious liberty at the moment with people being arrested for simply silently praying in public. But I must confess that I don't think that King Charles will be of much use in defending the right of citizens to pray silently in public places. Consequently, I am pleased, despite what English tradition might dictate, that Christ is the real head of the Church. Despite what has happened to the Church of England in departing from the faith over the years, Charles has no ability to usurp Christ's position. For that we may be truly thankful.

Like the Roman church, his faith is occultism.
