In theory throughout the centuries, the British Monarch inherits the throne by virtue of royal lineage, the will of God, and perhaps more recently, the will of the people through Parliament. Queen Elizabeth I, as any other sovereign, had the right to, of her own free will, give up the throne. This is referred to as abdication, and was exercised by Edward VIII in order to marry Wallis Simpson. Therefore, the original choice may not have been her own (birth), but certainly thereafter.
