You've been listening to those pesky French political philosophers and United Statists, again. No separation of church and state in *this* monarchy.

It is an interesting question as to whether an Anglican archbishop can actually be fired. It's a direct appointment by the Crown. Direct action by KC3 might have caused an uproar about the King interfering in politics, even though the Crown is legally supposed to be the fount of justice. Some people would get far more upset about a monarchy being a monarchy than about Mary Whitehouse's lawyer caning teenagers.
