Ummm - we aren't part of the UK - just one of the British Isles...
Britain, generally, is by no means all Anglican. Only about 45% of the British population are Anglicans - and that includes the ones who never go to church!
For example Scotland has only a few Anglicans - in fact the differences between Anglicanism and the form of Protestantism followed by most Scots was one of the roots of the Civil War (the English one, not yours) - had Charles been more equable towards the Presbyterians (not really much like American Presbyterians...) then his Scottish subjects would have supported him against the English, but they didn't as he was too Anglican! The Church of Scotland is still their national church - it is a Presbyterian type not an Episcopal type like Anglicanism.
The protestantism in Northern Ireland is a type of Presbyterianism rather than Anglicanism as well.
In Britain generally about 10% of the population are Catholic. The figures here on the island are slightly higher, for a variety of reasons, just as the number of Methodists is slightly higher too.
However - D-d is a very definite low church protestant, so the Pope is not really important to her religiously - more as a fascinating historical figure, just as if she had seen the King of Spain had she been there.
