There are no offenses which carry the death penalty in the UK

It’s quite obvious that a lot of these laws are really old and outdated. I guess they never got around to getting rid of them (if they already haven’t) or they just plain forgot about them. Or they’re not seen as legally binding anymore.

If that’s the case, then there may be quite a few women who would be deceased as I’ve heard that the consort is quite a ladies man.
