Monarchs are expected to live up to ideals.
If one of those ideals is that their behavior is subject to the direction of a foreign head of state, then that is unacceptable. It’s not necessarily an issue connected with the establishment of the C of E at all – it is more a question of sovereignty.
Until the Roman Catholic Church issues irrevocable statements providing clarity on this issue – such that a monarch does not have to obey the Vatican on matters of State ( which covers almost everything, given the amount of State affairs conducted in the name of the sovereign ), there ought to be no change.
If there is to be any chance, it should be to remove the reference to Roman Catholicism in the specific, but to retain the ban on monarchs being answerable in any respect of their personal conduct to foreign persons.
