They both have genuine affection for him. So does the Fool. All three of them get into trouble for telling Lear the truth, yet these are the three that stick by him through thick and thin. They tell him the truth because they see that he is deluded and they care about him; Regan and Goneril tell him what he wants to hear because they see that he is deluded and do not care about him at all, just what they can get from him.
Cordelia is the only daughter who is loyal to her father, King Lear. This loyalty is unrecognised by the King at first, as he takes offence at her curt and blunt reply to his questions, but it is clear through the play that she remains completely faithful to her father, unlike her two sisters, Ragan and Goneril. Even when she has been disinherited by her father and is married to the King of France, her integrity and loyal of character still remain and she brings the French army to try and try and restore her father to the throne and order to his kingdom. It is only when Lear has suffered a bout of madness that he realises that her words that caused such offence at the start of the play were the only words of true devotion and love spoken. He even goes as far as saying that he would rather live in prison with her than return to the throne, "come let's away to prison, We two alone will sing like birds i' th' cage" (Act 5, Scene 3). Cordelia shows her love not only in her frank and hoset words at the start of the play, but through her devotion to her father. She serves her still despite being disowned and her self sacrifice cost her her life. Like Kent, she has no thought of reward for her actions and is loyal to her father to the very end.

People were supposed to remain loyal to their King because the King was supposed to have been appointed by God to be king. Being disloyal to the king was therefore an offense against God. This view of the "Devine Right of Kings" is no longer widely accepted.
