Not quite sure waht you mean here Bubba by the King of England. There have been no Monarchs of England since 1603.
Technically, that should be 1707, with the Union of the Parliaments. The Union of the Crowns in 1603 was due to the same person, James, occupying both the thrones of Scotland and England. Hence he is James VI of Scotland and James I of England. For a century you had the odd arrangement of two separate kingdoms being ruled by one monarch. It was the Act of Union in 1707 that really made the two one country.
