Religion

The Church of England is the state religion of England. Rooted in Christianity, it follows a blend of Catholic and Protestant traditions. But it hasn’t always been this way.

In fact, it wasn’t until King Henry VIII fell in love with Anne Boleyn that the religion was officially formed. And despite being rooted in love, it was a bloody and brutal journey filled with war and tragedy.

As a result, King Charles III is now not only the head of the British Crown, but he's also a religious leader. Intrigued? Click on to take a trip to church.
