One prediction market prices this story:
- Yes — the market puts it at 20%, with $301 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if UK legislation removing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession becomes law before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked compensation payout for a change in succession status.
