Does HM the Queen, as head of the Church of England, kiss the ring of His Holiness the Pope?
-
And, has she not donned a black mantilla and a floor-length black frock to the Vatican as is customary for female visitors who have an audience with His Holiness there? Is this appropriate behaviour for the head of the Anglican church to show such deference to another supreme prelate?

Answer:
Technically not. Why? Because they are both heads of state.. Therefore they are equal (de jure) (formalities).

The Queen of England is relevant to a small population. In fact, many Britons would rather she found a real job. The Roman Pope, whether you like his person or not, has a great deal of influence with millions of people around the globe.

No. No. Black Mantillas are worn in Spain, not the Vatican. I don't recall that she has ever had an audience with a Pope at the Vatican. No.

Only Roman Catholics kiss the ring of the Pope or of Cardinals. The dress is merely custom, not a matter of deference or obeisance.

Of course not! How positively scandalous!
