No British or English monarch has claimed the divine right of kings since the Glorious Revolution of 1689. The British monarchy since that point has been a parliamentary monarchy, bound by the Bill of Rights, based on the consent of the governed in parliament and specifically in accordance with the laws made there. The Queen alone is not sovereign Queen-in-Parliament is. This is the key reason for the enduring success of the monarchy in Britain - that and the strong support from most people in the UK for the institution.
