The theory is that God appoints rulers by His Hand. Therefore, if God appointed the king, his is the right to rule. So it is customary to understand that any ruling monarch should be succeeded by his child. The trick is to be born into the right family.
The concept comes from the JudeoChristian Bible, in which first Saul and then David was appointed king over Israel. Further, if Saul had not been deposed by the very God Who had appointed him in the first place, his son Jonathan would have been the next king of Israel. However, David was appointed successor to Saul, which didn't sit very well with Saul who tried to have David killed. David's successors were all direct descendants of himself, thereby affirming God's announced favor to the Davidic line and it's right to rule over Israel.
Rights monarchs claimed were granted by God.
