Resolution Criteria

The Epstein files released by the Department of Justice include email exchanges between Epstein and a contact listed as "The Duke," which is believed to refer to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew). This market resolves YES if the US Justice Department or a major news outlet (defined as outlets with national/international reach and editorial standards, such as AP, Reuters, BBC, NPR, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, or equivalent) officially confirms that "The Duke" in the Epstein files refers to someone other than Prince Andrew. This market resolves NO if no such confirmation is made by February 8, 2027, or if official sources continue to identify "The Duke" as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Resolution will be determined by checking the DOJ's official Epstein Library at https://www.justice.gov/epstein and statements from major news outlets covering the Epstein files.

Background

Email exchanges between Epstein and an account named "The Duke" are signed "A" with the words "HRH The Duke of York KG" at the bottom — suggesting that the sender is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was known as Prince Andrew and the Duke of York before he was recently barred from using the titles. Mountbatten-Windsor's name appears at least several hundred times in the document release, including in Epstein's private emails. On January 30, 2026, an additional 3 million pages were released, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
