There are lots of “rightful heir” theories going around, and they all fall down on the fact that there is no such thing as a “rightful heir”.
There was always an element of “election” about early English monarchies. That is, in case of uncertainty, the most suitable candidate for the throne would be chosen from among the royal family by the leading nobility of the land.
That element of “election” went all the way down to King John.
The idea that there was some kind of “right” by strict rules of succession was a later invention.

Elizabeth II is the rightful monarch because Act of Parliament says so (Act of Succession 1701).
That’s the only definition that is worth anything.
