Best Answer

It would require quite an explanation to fully understand why the hereditary rulers of Europe did not like Napoleon, but some of the major reasons are:

The French Revolution. Napoleon, in many ways, was the embodiment of the French Revolution. His reforms in law, education and economy were based on models of the Revolution. Also, the ideals of liberty, equality, fraternity didn't appeal to the European monarchs at that time. While Britain was a constitutional monarchy, the government was still very much elitism in structure.

Britain lost to another republic: the US. British political resolve stiffened after they were defeated by the French-backed Americans in their war of independance. Now we have another upstart republic in Europe, Britain's playground. They might have yielded once, but they'd be damned if they yield again!
