What started royalty? Some men claimed that god gave them the right to rule and the people believed them. Now they say that YOU the people give them the right to rule and people still believe it. They just use different words now. But the people still think that the rulers are "royal" even if they hate who is in office. They blame the head ruler for everything that goes wrong, as if they actually have that much power, like an evil wizard up in a tower casting malicious spells down on eveybody. And when they like who is in office, they praise them for everything that goes well. Most things that happen in life are not because of a pesky almighty ruler. Most things happen because an individual person did something. While their "royalty" flies around on a private jet to find a golf course where it isn't raining.
