Another feature of earlier times was the belief in the "Royal Touch". The idea was that "because anointed kings were divinely chosen, they had special healing powers" (a notion related to the "Divine Right" theory). This curious custom, "inspired possibly by the priestly character of the kingship", was revived by Charles II in 1660 (who, in only eleven months during 1662 and 1663, gave 11,577 "touches") and continued through the reigns of James II, William and Mary, and Anne.

There are a number of other potential claimants to the British Throne; for example:

Evidence suggests that "Baron Fitzwalter represented the descendants of Duncan II of Scotland - and could therefore claim precedence over the present royal family who descend from Duncan's younger half-brother David."

Henry VIII "nominated the Greys before the Stuarts by his second Act of Succession in 1536. In default of heirs to his son Edward VI, the crown was to pass to the line of Henry's younger sister Margaret. Edward VI subsequently confirmed this by letters patent". But Henry's spinster daughter Elizabeth favoured the Stuart line of Margaret, even though on Elizabeth's death Lord Beauchamp was then the legal king. Therefore by that reckoning, his descendent, Lady Kinloss, should be the legal Queen.

The Duke of Monmouth, the illegitimate son of Charles II (but said to be legitimate, by virtue of Charles' secret marriage to Lucy Walker), led a rebellion in 1685 to claim the throne. He was defeated and hung soon after, along with 150 followers (another 800 were sent into slavery). His descendent, the Duke of Buccleuch, has recently been touted as a replacement for the Windsors.
