Unfortunately for the argument, the English Royals did not die out in 1066.

The Atheling, heir to the throne, descendant of Edmund Ironside, moved to Scotland and one of his sisters, Margaret, married the King (David?). Their daughter married Henry 1, so back came the genes. A Godwin daughter married into a Scandinavian royal family, and those genes came back via Kiev, Denmark and various marriages.

The Norman barons did themselves some serious damage in the Wars of the Roses, and the nobs who took their places under the Tudors were jumped up upper middle class who knows what with names like Browne.

Doesn't alter the situation with regard to inherited "rights" to power and land and money, though. It's not impossible that someone like a present day grasping landlord who made money by ripping off and threatening tenants and exploiting farm labourers abroad could have descendants who regarded themselves as better than everyone else for reasons of bloodline or money. Doesn't make them, or him any better than the prople they call scum.
