Anyways, figuratively speaking, if we say something is in the cards, we mean to say that they’re likely to happen. If it’s in the cards, there’s a probability, or a strong possibility or even an inevitability that something will happen.

On the other hand, if it’s not in the cards, then it’s not likely to happen.

In our example, the cards are stacked against the couple, but with medical help, perhaps they can have children some day. In other words, never say never. At any rate, even if they’re certified doctors, don’t take their words too literally.

Alright, here are media examples of in (American) or on (British) the cards:

1. Kate Middleton lookalike Heidi Agan says a royal baby of her own is definitely NOT on the cards.

Instead, the Duchess’s doppelganger is happy to bring her daughter’s baby doll along to photoshoots as the world awaits the new arrival.

Heidi’s career has soared since she quit her job as a burger bar waitress to become a full-time Kate lookalike last May.

The 33-year-old has been flown around the world to make public appearances as the future Queen.

The single mum has even had a staggering 15 marriage proposals, but insists she is not looking for love as she prepares for life as a “pretend” new mum.

The Duchess of Cambridge's pregnancy has meant more work for Heidi, from Cannock, West Midlands.

And when the royal baby arrives, she plans to enlist the help of a real tot to accompany her on photoshoots.
