I hope you leave Elizabeth out of the people you hate. Very clear she wasn't stuck up and didn't want to be queen, but lead a more normal life.
In college, I had to read a treatise written by a Frenchman about Divine Right. They had philosophers or politicians or whatever write up lengthy rationalizations that God literally wanted the king to be king,
If you think about it, once you have power, the ultimate is to secure that your son and your family have power indefinitely. So that's what Kings have always done
In England, and also other European countries, the aristocracy as a whole thought they were superior to the "common" people. they were well bred. Born to their station. Better than everyone else,.
America had a great break with royalty and kings. Some wanted George Washington to be the new King and he declined, and we started with limited not lifetime terms, and with leaders elected, directly or indirectly instead of by blood.
This is a historic show. It would be good if instead of "hating" that you just learned about attitude in a different era and a different country. The Brits loved their royalty then, and love it still. -

Romans 13:1-7
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
2Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
4For he is Gods minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is Gods minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.
5Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience sake.
6For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are Gods ministers attending continually to this very thing.
7Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
Now, don't come at me for telling you what's in the Bible. Whether you personally believe it or not, that's where it's from.
