Here are the probabilities I get for your making a royal flush on one hand of hold'em:

Using 0, 1, or 2 of your hole cards: 1 in 30,940
Using both of your hole cards: 1 in 64,974
Using your ace and your other hole card: 1 in 162,435
Using your ace and your other hole card to get a royal flush in spades: 1 in 649,740

There are 2,598,960 sets of five cards (hole cards and flop). I assume that's what you mean by "flopping a Royal Flush."

Of these, four are Royal Flushes, so the probability is 1 / 649,740.

For a specific suit, there is only one set of five cards that does that, so the probability is 1 / 2,598,960.
