No, he is very very VERY specifically not above the law. The trial and execution of Charles I is a pretty major point in British history. Establishing the king is not above the law and parliament is sovereign.

From the wiki page on sovereign immunity: [Sovereign immunity ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_immunity) > As the Crown Proceedings Act only affected the law in respect of acts carried on by or on behalf of the British government, the monarch remains personally immune from criminal and civil actions.[45] I've tried to find something that contradicts this but I can't.
