When the current Queen was crowned, over half the UK's population ( or at least those polled) said they believed the Queen had been chosen by God to rule over Britain, and was spiritually superior to other mere mortals. In the past, many Monarchists have believed the Royal Family to be the "Guardians of the Faith," and strictly Christian Monarchists (including senior C of E figures) have said publicly that they genuinely believe the Royals are specially protected by God, and are "higher beings" than ourselves.
I am interested to know if this feeling still runs strong with supporters of theirs. I am not mocking, and ask only out of curiosity.

This sort of thing has long been discredited.
Can you imagine any god choosing a liar and adulterer like Charles.

Well this boils down the bigger question of if you believe in GOD or not. I believe that there is a higher power, and the follow on from that is that we have a purpose on the planet. If this follows, then every soul on Earth has a special role to play in humanity. Therefore, there would be a unique experience to be had by a soul inhabiting the body of a royal person such as The Queen. Taking the old fashioned view aside, following my spiritual logic, I would think that Her Majesty's Soul would have been "chosen" to take up the role on Earth as Queen. Even if you take a Buddhist view, that her soul reincarnated into that position, and that she (and all those around her) BELIEVE she is Queen, then from the concept of creating your reality, either way you look at it. She is "The Queen", she believes in her faith that she has been chosen by GOD to be Queen, many millions believe the same thing. "I THINK THEREFORE I AM........"

This is very strange, I don't remember a poll of any description when Elizabeth was crowned,she was next in line and that was accepted.
