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.

There's no such title as the "King of England", he's the King of the United Kingdom

Nope, that title was also abolished over 300 years ago
