A Royal Flush

Submitted by ub on

To put this in perspective, for poker players the probability of getting a royal flush in poker is at 1 in 649,740, and the probability of an amateur hitting a hole-in-one in golf is hundreds of times as great, at 1 in 12,000.

Not four of a kind, but three this time. Three family members deciding to step away from the British Crown today and be part-time Royals. The UK is not OK -Liz is pissed.

However, this family has no reason to be concerned about finances, Prince Harry’s personal wealth is estimated at 30 million pounds, thanks to his share of his mother’s estate and his great-grandmother’s legacy, according to the #TimesofLondon

This UK Royal rift is unique, as others have left the family before, but there is no precedent for the arrangement that Harry, Meghan, and baby Archie are adopting.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Archie will ‘step back’ and quit the Royal Family. The couple made this decision just a little over one year following their wedding on 19 May 2018 in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom. The groom, Prince Harry, is a member of the British royal family; the bride, Meghan Markle, is American and previously worked as an actress.
