The clue is to know what makes a Protestant, and then to see what rules the different monarchs set.
The answer is that English became more and less Protestant depending on the monarch, and ended up with Elizabeth being Protestant, but not extreme Protestant

The official religion of the UK is Anglican (aka, Church of England) which is sort of a compromise between Catholicism and Protestantism. They do not accept the Pope as head of the church, so in thet respect they are Protestant. However, the services and customs of the Anglican church have more in common with the Catholic church than the Protestant.

Anglicans, (members of the Church of England), are members of the larger group of Christians known as Protestants because they broke away from the Catholic Church during the Reformation. There is no unitary Protestant Church, but it is an umbrella group for all of the various Christian groups (Lutherans, Anglicans, Calvinists, etc.) that left the Catholic Church.
