Technically, he is correct: England is technically a country that is historically Christian, 71.6% of Britons identify as Christian (no matter how rarely they may attend Church), and in order to ascend to the throne, one must be okayed by the government-sponsored Church. We can all debate the utility of a government-sponsored Church (no matter how milquetoast it may be), or even a monarchy, but the fact remains that he's technically correct.
