The Chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland may have lost his job over a series of photos posted to social media by his daughter.
Rory Cullinan, one of the highest-paid bankers at RBS, will leave his job after his daughter Bridget, 18, posted screenshots of his Snapchat selfies to her Instagram account.
According to the UK’s Telegraph, Cullinan used photo-sharing app to send to Bridget images featuring captions that read: “Not a fan of board meetings xx”, “Boring meeting xx” and “Another friggin meeting”.
Bridget uploaded the photos to Instagram with the message: “Happy Father’s Day to the indisputable king of Snapchat.”
The pictures only came to light in a national newspaper early this month.

Following the report, RBS chief executive Ross McEwan released a statement on Monday confirming that Cullinan would depart the bank on April 30.
The statement read that the bank had "reached agreement with Rory Cullinan ... that he will leave the company".
The bank, however, did not comment on the reasons for his exit, with McEwan quoted as thanking Cullinan for his "very significant contribution" over the past six years.
Cullinan said he was "pleased and proud to have played a significant part in restoring RBS to a safe and sound agenda" and wished his colleagues success, The Telegraph reported.
According to reports, Cullinan received $4.3 million from bonuses in the past six months at the RBS, $2.3 million in shares and $3.8 million following a recent promotion.
