No, since the 1700's no Catholic can be King or Queen of England. Before this time it was different. Until Henry VIII broke with the Church of Rome all Kings and Queens were Catholic. After Henry his daughter Mary burned Protestants and later Charles I married French Catholic Henrietta Maria who raised their children in the faith. Charles and Henrietta's sons Charles and James were both Catholic and it was because of James and the "Glorious Revolution" that they came up with the rule that only Protestant descentants of Sophia of Hanover (The Grandaughter of King James I) could be in line to the throne of England.
