Ah, now, that's not actually true. She can be a Muslim, Hindu, atheist,
Methodist, Ba'hai or what have you, just not Catholic. She's still be the
titular head of the Church of England, which might give the CoE some
palpitations if she were Muslim.

The only explicit ban is Catholicism (including marrying one)

Cheers
