Galton hypothesized in his 1872 study that if prayer were effective,
members of the British Royal family would live longer, given that
thousands prayed for their wellbeing every Sunday. He therefore
compared longevity of the British Royal family with that of various
groups in the general population, and found no difference other than
an apparent shorter average lifespan for Royalty compared to other
apparently affluent groups such as the landed gentry.
