The Queen is the supreme governor of the Church of England, but...

... its General Synod just voted against permitting women to serve as bishops.
It has been 36 years since the General Synod declared it had no fundamental objection to ordaining women as priests, and 18 years since the first women were ordained. But that change never won universal acceptance in the church, with a determined minority arguing that that the move was contrary to the Bible.

That group, affirming what it sees as the Biblical idea of male “headship,” has demanded special arrangements to shield it from supervision by female bishops.
Don't worry. Being inconsistent is perfectly consistent with the Bible.
