Neil, if you wish to believe the queen rules by divine right, you are free to continue doing so.
However, I don't believe the queen rules by divine right, and yet this is not disrespect towards a private family.
Not to revere a private person as being above other people does not mean being disrespectful towards that person.
In fact, I recognise elected people as holding the post to which they have been elected for a set period of time, and don't acknowledge non-elected people as head of Church or State.
As for divine right of God, I doubt you are in the position of God to decide who God has decided to place or not to place in any position of authority in England.
Perhaps you think you know, but perhaps God thinks otherwise.
So you cannot be speaking for God on that one!
As far as I'm concerned, the Windsors are celebrities, promoted by the media and the Establishemnt. Not by divine right.
