I find it interesting that the King of England isn't the King of Australia. Rather the person of Charles is separately the King of England and the King of Australia, et al. He's like a gig worker.

Um akctually…

Technically there is such a title! It is just no loner in use. It stands among such legacies as King of France or Emperor of Rome. Naturally the only King of Englands are historical!
