Do you think that there is anything special about royalty on a personal basis?

Question

Royals of various nations have presented themselves as being special throughout history, that is, as being especially favored by God, or as having a special bloodline, somehow.

Answer 1

Royals are people that were brought into power by their military or they haven't screwed up the country enough to be kicked out.

Answer 2

Absolutely not

Answer 3

once upon a time, yes. they were respected and revered because they behaved respectfully and reverentially. times change.

Answer 4

While i don't believe in being especially favored by god, i do believe the Queen should be the Queen. i do think that royals are special in that they have a great deal of wisdom, especially Elizabeth. being queen for such a long time has given her a depth of knowledge no one else can offer. She also adds a sense of style and grace to the UK and the commonwealth that couldn't be replaced. She is a powerful yet graceful symbol of a powerful yet graceful nation, and i don't think anyone in the line of sucession can possibly live up to her legacy.

Answer 5

Of course.

I live in New Zealand, and as such our head of State is the Queen (we also have a Maori King but nobody pays much attention to them). I know there is no practical basis to it, but it seems like a reminder of times gone by, and gives us someone to look at (Elizabeth II may not be a great Beauty, but she has elegance) In a world where the future is looking continually darker, it is nice to reminsice.

Good Question
