What I meant is that people, long long ago, actually believed in the theory of Divine Right thereby validating a monarchs position. These days no one in their right mind believes that idea. However, some, not all, still want the institution, and believe it shouldn't be abolished. To still want a monarchy doesn't mean one believes, in this day and age, in Divine Right; rather, some believe a monarchy is a nice tradition filled with a rich history and for some gives one a sense of nationalistic pride.
