Do you believe that "there is no such thing as the divine right of Kings?"?

Question

http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/H/history/i-m/monarch.html

According to the above documentary, Michael Hasting, who was born in Britain, had a public school education before emigrating to Australia in 1960. He lives in Jerildere (pop 1100) He became Earl of Loudoun when his Mother died.

The evidence uncovered by documentary shows King Edward 1V to be illigimate.. therefore making the entire Tudor dynasty to have been built on a lie, and, as a high ranking Plantagenent, the rightful heir to the Monarchy of UK is this man, Michael Hastings, which, as King Michael 1, HE is head of the British Empire remnants - which include Australia - which, he just happens to believe should be a republic. Should the Queen abdicate, he would not return to claim the Crown. He is not a Monarchist inspite of being Peer.

Can you imagine having, King Michael 1; Simon, the Alternative Prince of Wales, Marcus, Lisa, Princes Jet, Zach, Caleb and Rylie, not forgetting little Princess Isabella?

Answer 1

No King or Queen has a divine right to rule any Nation. Most of them came to their Thrones through war and conquest.  Members of so called Royalty, are no better or worse than every Tom, d**k, or Harry, and indeed any Mary, Jane or Amy, or whatever other name you can think of. and yet, so many people treat them as "Gods"

Answer 2

Hello, I think whatever man want to do as a man he'll do it if he can get away with it, "Divinity" doesn't exist with men though, that's from GOD.! Divine Rights here is something man has made, in reality it doesn't exist! You take care! Jimmy.

Answer 3

that's an interesting concept, its a pity H>R<H is not a member of Q/A [ that we know of! ] i would be very interested in her reply, lets be honest hello its a non runner no matter what evidence their is.

Answer 4

Well, tell any king that I am sorry but he needs to come take a bow first! Why would I elect him over me?

Answer 5

I think the Hastings is an amusing character. I'm Canadian and I like having the road south named after the Queen. It is a pleasant fantasy about the past. Princess Patrica's Light Infantry and Lord Strathcona's Horse will still protect the dominion despite the quaint names. I'm more concerned about how well the governor of the bank of Canada does his job than a debate about inheritances of nothing.

Answer 6

By now it really does not matter and there have been illegitimate kings of England such has William Duke of Normandy (William the 1st)

Answer 7

The divine right of kings is something made up by kings
