Statistically the chance of being a king is miniscule... Currently king's don't sit in queues either. So the comparison is mingled. Compare kings of yesteryears with today's kings or common folk with common one today.
I love how this somehow is used as an argument for todays wealth disparity. “Well kids, you could have been a Jew under Hitler, so go kiss Elons feet and be thankful” to put the argument to the max.
