Disturbing Revelation: Woman's Tattoo Exposes Shocking Snapchat Crime

Disturbing Revelation: Woman's Tattoo Exposes Shocking Snapchat Crime

A New Jersey woman has been arrested after allegedly recording herself sexually assaulting a child under 13 and sharing the footage on Snapchat. Investigators identified her through a distinctive tattoo on her leg. Victoria Anne Cranmer, 25, of Little Egg Harbor, was charged on Tuesday with second-degree sexual assault, second-degree manufacturing of child sexual abuse material, third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material, and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child. She is being held without bail at Ocean County Jail. How was she identified? According to an affidavit of probable cause, investigators were able to identify Cranmer through several distinctive tattoos visible in the 14-second recording. One of the tattoos, located on her leg, depicts breasts. The tattoo proved to be the critical piece of evidence linking Cranmer to the footage. Without it, identifying suspects in child abuse material can take investigators months or even years. Victoria Anne Cranmer. Credit: Ocean County Jail How did police find the video? The investigation did not begin with a tip from Snapchat or a report from a concerned member of the public. It began with a returned phone. According to court documents, the mobile phone used to record the footage had been given to Cranmer as a birthday present by a former roommate. After a falling out, the roommate asked Cranmer to move out and to leave the phone behind. While reviewing the phone's contents after getting it back, the roommate discovered the recording. They saved the video and turned the device over to investigators. The case was referred to the Little Egg Harbor Police Department and the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit on May 20 by the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency. What did investigators find on the phone? Detectives obtained search warrants for both the phone and Cranmer's Snapchat account. On the account, they found additional videos saved in Snapchat's Memories feature, a function that allows users to store content within the app. Several of the videos showed Cranmer and the alleged victim in a bathroom. At least one was shared on Snapchat, according to New Jersey 101.5. The original 14-second clip, which court documents describe as showing the assault of a child under 13, was recorded on May 6 inside the bathroom of a home in Little Egg Harbor while the child was in Cranmer's care. According to documents cited by NJ.com, Cranmer can be heard laughing while the alleged assault takes place. Cranmer faces lengthy jail time. Credit: Facebook What are the charges? Cranmer faces four charges in total. Second-degree sexual assault and second-degree manufacturing of child sexual abuse material are the most serious, each carrying significant prison time under New Jersey law. She also faces third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child. She was booked into Ocean County Jail and is being held without bail pending further proceedings. No court date has been publicly announced. The charges are similar in nature to those brought against adult film actor Austin Wolf , who was recently sentenced to 19 years in prison after being found in possession of hundreds of videos depicting sexual abuse of minors, including footage involving infants. What is Snapchat's Memories feature? Snapchat's Memories function allows users to save Snaps and Stories within the app rather than to their phone's camera roll. Content saved in Memories is stored on Snapchat's servers and can be accessed by the user at any time. In this case, investigators obtained a warrant for Cranmer's Snapchat account and were able to recover additional videos that had been saved using the feature. The fact that the content was stored within Snapchat rather than on the phone itself meant it would not have been visible to the roommate who discovered the original clip on the device. It also means the videos were accessible to Snapchat as a platform. Under US federal law, electronic service providers are required to report any child sexual abuse material they become aware of to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It is not clear whether Snapchat flagged the content before investigators obtained the warrant. She was allegedly identified by a distinctive tattoo. Credit: Facebook What happens next? Cranmer remains in custody at Ocean County Jail. The investigation is being handled by the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit in conjunction with the Little Egg Harbor Police Department. Prosecutors have not indicated whether additional charges may follow, though the discovery of multiple videos on both the phone and Cranmer's Snapchat account suggests the investigation is ongoing. The identity of the child has not been made public. The victim is confirmed to be under 13 years old.

Randolph Mantooth's Final Farewell: The Legacy of 'Emergency!' Star

Floyd McCarty/NBC via Getty ImagesMantooth shot to fame in 1972 when he was cast as Johnny Gage on “Emergency!,” the NBC drama that introduced the profession of paramedics to millions of viewers.He starred alongside Kevin Tighe on the series, which ran for six seasons, and performed most of his own stunts.The actor later reprised his role as Gage on shows including “Adam-12” and remained a longtime advocate for firefighters, paramedics and EMTs.Mantooth recalled the positive reception he received from firefighters after the show aired, saying the “Emergency!” cast “did not want to make them look bad.”“They were so ecstatic that they had a show about them,” Mantooth said in a 2013 interview, according to the Television Academy. “Because there’s always shows about cops. There’s always shows about lawyers and doctors. But here’s a show about the fire department! I mean, their hair stood up on end. It’s like, ‘yeah, honey, that’s what I do!'”Randolph Mantooth poses with his vehicle from “Emergency” at The Hollywood Show in Los Angeles, July 8, 2017. Getty Images“They took to us well because we did not want to make them look bad. We wanted to make them look like exactly who they were — heroes,” Mantooth added. “Now, everyone’s got to have a flaw. It drives me crazy. I don’t care about your flaws. Just show me what you do. How’s the job done? And do it real. Show me!” Born in Sacramento, Calif., Mantooth discovered acting through school plays after his family settled in the Santa Barbara area, according to IMDb.He attended Santa Barbara City College before earning a scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.Randolph Mantooth appearing as Alex Masters on “Loving” in 1995. Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty ImagesAfter being spotted in a stage production of “Philadelphia, Here I Come,” he signed with Universal and launched his television career.Before “Emergency!,” he appeared on series including “Ironside,” “The Virginian,” “Marcus Welby, M.D.,” “The Bold Ones,” “McCloud” and “Alias Smith and Jones.”After the show ended, Mantooth continued acting for decades, appearing on “Dallas,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “The Love Boat,” “Criminal Minds,” “Ghost Whisperer” and “Sons of Anarchy.”He also had a lengthy run in daytime television, playing Clay Alden and later Alex Masters on “Loving,” Richard Halifax on “General Hospital,” and appearing on “One Life to Live,” “As the World Turns” and “The City.”Mantooth’s “Loving” co-star Rena Sofer mourned her “dear friend” and mentor, who “took me under his wing.”“I have so much to say about him, so much love for him that I am left speechless,” Sofer posted on Instagram on Friday night. “This man came into my life when I was 18 years old and never left. He took me under his wing as he did to most young actors he ever met. He treated me with respect and kindness but most of all friendship.“We have been lifelong friends and I cherish every moment I had with him. He was a friend to so many, a true great friend.”Mantooth is survived by his wife, Kristen, and his siblings, Donald and Tonya.

Why Barron Trump Is Desperate to Change His Voice

Why Barron Trump Is Desperate to Change His Voice

Barron Trump is reportedly ‘determined’ to lose the accent that he inherited from his mother, Melania Trump. To be fair, he could have ended up speaking more like his father, so maybe it’s better that he got his voice predominantly from his mom. Barron Trump leads a secretive life Not a great deal is known about the youngest of Donald Trump’s sons . Despite not sharing one of his parents with his more well-known siblings Don Jr. , Eric , and Ivanka , Barron is still the subject of much speculation and is very obviously a Trump . His mother is fiercely protective of his privacy and has threatened media outlets in the past if they get too close to her only son. With his father leading a busy life in business and then politics, Barron has largely been raised by his Slovenian mother and her parents, Amalija and Viktor Knavs, and reportedly has a heavy Slovenian accent as a result. However, he appears desperate to shake that accent and has been trying to adopt a more traditional American accent when he speaks. A White House insider said that Barron is ‘very focused on how he presents himself now’. Could that point to a future in politics or public life? We’ll have to wait and see. Even though he is only ever seen at public events fleetingly , Barron is apparently keen to ‘be confident when he speaks’, the source told celebrity journalist Rob Shuter. It comes after a clip of Barron as a child speaking with a thick accent went viral. Credit: Tom Williams/Getty Melania has addressed Barron’s voice in the past Speaking to Larry King, Melania herself has opened up on whether her son has taken on her accent as a result of his upbringing. King asked the First Lady about whether he has an accent, to which she replied: “He does.” She went on to explain that Barron speaks three languages and spends a lot of his time with her. In that same interview, Donald Trump clarified his position. “I think it’s great. Anything he does is OK with me,” he said. As far as Barron’s upbringing goes, the insider told Shuter: “Barron was raised primarily by his mother and his grandparents. “Even as he grows older, Melania watches over him closely. “She wants him to have a normal life, free from cameras and public pressure, while still giving him the tools he needs to proceed.” Credit: Pool/Getty Images What is Barron Trump up to now? The youngest Trump child is currently studying at NYU’s Washington campus and has broken with tradition to remain living at home, which also helps to keep him out of any unwanted spotlight. According to the insiders, he wants to tone up his voice, not to remove his accent altogether. That will allow him to be ‘confident’ and ‘thoughtful [and] deliberate when he speaks. That will be a useful trait for someone who is likely to have a lot of attention put onto whatever he says. Featured image credit: Chip Somodevilla/Getty

Chilling Confession: NYC Convict's Grim Promise if Freed

Chilling Confession: NYC Convict's Grim Promise if Freed

Notorious imprisoned NYC sex fiend Peter Braunstein is making a case against state parole reform, warning of a bloodbath if someone like him is ever set free.“All I’d do is kill people,” Braunstein told The Post in an unhinged, scribbled letter where he promises to murder Democrats and “monsters” if he is ever released. Braunstein — a one-time fashion writer who made international headlines in 2005 when he impersonated a firefighter, sexually tortured a former colleague he was obsessed with in her Chelsea apartment, and then evaded a police manhunt across several states for two months — warned woke Albany reforms will only let more dangerous lunatics like himself out on the streets.Conviceted perv Peter Braunstein wrote a letter to a New York Post reporter saying he wants to remain in jail until he’s taken out “in a body bag.” AP“If I was let out tomorrow I’d be reincarcerated in short order because all I’d do is kill people,” he wrote in the June 12 letter to a Post reporter. “Prison is where I deserve to be,” wrote Braunstein, who is serving 18 years to life in Wende Correctional Facility in upstate Alden.The ex-Women’s Wear Daily fashion critic offered a laundry list of targets: “Democrats (traitors), trannies (monsters), that Piker guy, ” he wrote, referring to Hasan Piker, a far-left influencer and streamer.“The list is endless.“The U.S. right now is lost, baby, lost,” he wrote. “I’m so glad I’m not out there.”The Post wrote to Braunstein, 62, asking what he’d do if he was granted his release under two new parole-reform bills under consideration in Albany.The Elder Parole bill would let violent criminals dodge their minimum sentences, regardless of how heinous their crimes, and be granted early parole hearings after they’ve turned 55 and served 15 years of their sentences. Braunstein was arrested for posing as a firefighter to get into a woman’s Chelsea apartment and then sexually abusing her for 13 hours in 2005. A second measure, the Fair and Timely Parole bill, would require the state Parole Board to release convicts regardless of the severity of their crimes unless they are a “current” danger to the public.Braunstein had a parole hearing last year and was denied because he didn’t show up for it, but is set to reappear before the board next year.In the letter, Braunstein wrote that the only way he’s getting out is “in a body bag.” New York PostCritics fear lunatics like him might be sprung if the bills become law. “I think you’re going to see a lot of murderers released. . . . murderers and sex offenders, and assuredly some criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes in New York. . . . I’m talking about guys like [John Lennon’s murderer] Mark David Chapman and the Son of Sam [serial killer David Berkowitz],” said former Parole Board Commissioner and state Sen. Marc Coppola, who resigned from the board in September.  “And the difference between the two bills is some of them will actually be released earlier than their minimum, and that alone, I think, is very very wrong,” he said. “It’s disrespectful to the victim and the victims’ families.”He also wrote that if he was let out tomorrow, “I’d be reincarcerated in short order because all I’d do is kill people.” New York PostHad Braunstein shown up for that missed hearing in 2025 — and attended a second hearing — he’d likely walk free as the bills are written, Coppola said.But Braunstein insists he doesn’t want to get out.“The only way I’m leaving prison is in a body bag,” Braunstein wrote in the three-page missive written in blue ink on yellow legal-pad paper.And both he and the public are better off, he said.“This may seem hard to believe and is certainly not the typical inmate position, but when I committed my crimes in 05 I was done with the world and I have consistently maintained that position ever since,” said Braunstein.“Prison isn’t just where I deserve to be, it’s where I want to be because it separates me from a world I loathe.”He closed the letter saying he enjoyed reading The Post’s coverage of his trial. New York PostThe failed playwright has been busy behind bars, revealing he has written a sick book about incest. “I wrote a mini-novel called Infinite Wishes about a teenage girl who has an ambiguous sexual relationship with her father and goes on to acquire special powers,” he wrote.“Sure, I’d love to see it published but that’s unlikely, but it’s still gratifying as a personal accomplishment.”On Halloween night 2005, Braunstein set a fire outside the 36-year-old victim’s apartment and pretended to be a firefighter in a ruse to get her to open the door. He’d serving 18 years to life at Wende Correctional Facility near Buffalo. GoogleOnce inside, he chloroformed the woman, stripped her to her underwear, and bound and sexually assaulted her for more than 13 hours, videotaping the savage abuse.“I was terrified,” the victim, a former writer for W magazine, testified at his 2007 trial.“He told me I was lucky I was alive,” she testified, remembering waking up bound by her wrists and ankle to her bed — wearing only her pink underwear and a pair of bronze stilettos he had found in her closet.He wore a full firefighters uniform and set fire to his victim’s hallway to get inside her apartment. eBayEven then, Braunstein fancied himself a killer. “He told me he’d already killed a few people,” she said. “He said he had a list of people who were going to die.” Before leaving, he scrawled a mocking note on her mirror: “Bye — Hope things turn around for U soon.”He used chloroform to knock his victim out repeatedly when she came to during the attack. eBayBraunstein was convicted of kidnapping, sexual abuse, robbery and burglary. Once he completes his sentence, Braunstein has to serve another 23 years in Ohio for kidnapping a male psychiatrist while he was on the lam for two months. He was finally captured in Tennessee, stabbing himself in the neck in a failed suicide attempt as cops closed in.Braunstein also faces a 23-year jail sentence in Ohio for attacking a psychiatrist while he was on the lam.In his letter to The Post, Braunstein said he still thinks about the victim, whose name was never made public, “from time to time.”Still, he continued to show no remorse for his crime and outrageously claimed “I kind of bonded with her while I held her captive, kind of like Stockholm Syndrome in reverse.”The victim lived in a building in Chelsea. Christopher SadowskiIn another appalling claim, he wrote that the cruel crime was “an act of self definition.”“You find out – if you want to – who you really are,” he wrote.

Chilling Testimony: 7-Year-Old's Heartbreaking Words That Shook the Courtroom

Chilling Testimony: 7-Year-Old's Heartbreaking Words That Shook the Courtroom

Nearly two decades ago, a seven-year-old boy was called to testify against his own mother, Amanda Lewis, who faced charges of first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse. The trial revolved around the tragic death of his younger sister, Adrianna Elaine Hutto, who was found unresponsive in the family pool in August 2007. AJ Hutto’s testimony brought to light disturbing details about what occurred that day, forcing the young boy to confront painful memories of his sister’s death and the actions of his mother. AJ’s account of the incident would become a crucial part of the prosecution’s case, highlighting a dark chapter of family abuse. While Amanda Lewis initially claimed that Adrianna had accidentally drowned, AJ later revealed the horrifying truth: his mother had drowned his sister as a punishment for misbehaving. This disclosure led to Amanda Lewis being charged with murder and child abuse, though she has consistently maintained her innocence. AJ’s heartbreaking testimony on the stand would expose the cruelty and violence that had taken place in their home. The tough question AJ had to answer on the stand AJ was called to testify at his mother’s trial in February 2008, where he was asked a question that would forever mark the young boy’s life. The courtroom scene was tense as AJ was asked, "I told them today, that Adrianna was dead. Is she dead?" AJ, visibly emotional, responded with a simple "Yes, sir." The lawyer then inquired, "They want to know how Adrianna died, now I wasn't there AJ was I?" AJ confirmed that he was there, and then came the chilling question: "Can you tell them how she died?" The young boy’s response was gut-wrenching: "My mama killed my sister." AJ then went on to draw an illustration for the court, depicting stick figures around a pool, with one figure placing another's head under the water. "That’s my mama," he said. "Killing my sister." He also described how his mother held her hand over his sister’s face. The trauma AJ experienced was evident as he testified, even breaking into tears while recalling the event. His courage in the face of such a horrific experience left an indelible mark on the trial. AJ’s reflections on the trial and his mother’s actions Seventeen years later, AJ has opened up to MailOnline , under the condition that his current identity remain confidential. He reaffirmed his original testimony and rejected claims that he had been manipulated or coerced by prosecutors. “I don't believe I was, what they've called, coached or anything like that,” AJ said. “I just told them exactly what I saw, word for word.” He recalled the emotional weight of testifying at such a young age, saying he didn’t recognize his mother when he entered the courtroom. “It was heartbreaking,” he said. “She's my mother. But there was also some relief that what we were going through at the time was finally coming to an end.” AJ also revealed he has had no contact with Amanda since her conviction. “It’s court-appointed that we cannot see each other,” he explained, “and I've wanted to keep it that way, just so nothing’s getting brought back up… all the feelings, emotions, and traumas coming back into light.” Featured image credit: ITV

Shocking Pentagon Footage: What Are These Shapeshifting Objects?

Shocking Pentagon Footage: What Are These Shapeshifting Objects?

The Pentagon has released 19 new UFO videos as part of its fourth batch of declassified files, including infrared footage of an object in the Middle East that appears to change shape mid-flight before altering direction at high speed. The files were published on Friday on the government's dedicated UFO site , WAR.GOV/UFO, as part of the PURSUE programme ordered by President Trump earlier this year. The fourth batch contains 40 files in total, including military sensor footage, historical documents dating back to the 1940s, and first-hand accounts from serving personnel. The Pentagon has classified all of them as 'unresolved cases', meaning it cannot explain what the objects are. What does the shapeshifting footage show? The clip was captured in 2023 by an infrared sensor aboard a US military platform operating in the Middle East. It shows a UAP, or unidentified anomalous phenomenon, that appears to change form before shifting direction at speed. The footage runs for 10 seconds and was submitted to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Pentagon's dedicated UFO investigation unit, by US Central Command. It is one of several clips in the latest release that have drawn immediate attention online. Honestly, the pics don't really do it justice. Credit: Pentagon What else was in the fourth batch? Well, there was a lot. Among the most striking files: A 2020 video from the Atlantic Ocean appears to match long-rumoured footage of a 'floating brain' type UAP. It shows a blob-shaped object with narrower sections dangling beneath it, filmed by a military sensor platform. The object moves steadily but at an unknown speed. A 2023 clip from the Yellow Sea shows a UAP that appeared to interfere with the military's own equipment. The footage runs for nearly five minutes, during which the electro-optical and infrared sensors progressively degrade. The image gets worse the longer the object is on screen. A 2024 video from the South China Sea, running for one minute and 46 seconds, shows a string-like UAP slicing through clouds on infrared. A photograph appears to capture an object approaching Earth from low orbit. The figure is small and bright but appears to be heading towards the surface. A separate video shows a glowing UAP with six prongs of light coming off it, flying at a steady but unidentified speed. In the same clip, an object resembling the 'jellyfish UFO' previously reported over Iraq in the late 2010s can be seen moving through clouds in the distance. One first-hand account, filed through a 2019 Navy reporting system, describes a sighting over the eastern United States by a military aviator with 28 years of experience across the Air Force and Navy. He described the object as 'unlike anything I had seen'. What historical documents were included? The batch also includes files going back to the late 1940s. A 1949 document details a conference held to discuss sightings of 'green fireballs' near Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, the site where the first nuclear weapons were developed. The attendees included prominent scientists, some of whom had worked on the Manhattan Project. The green fireballs had been appearing repeatedly over sensitive military installations and could not be explained. A 1948 document from Project Sign, one of the US government's earliest formal efforts to investigate UFO reports, contains 100 sighting reports filed between 1947 and 1948. Project Sign was eventually succeeded by Project Blue Book, which ran until 1969. A series of NASA images from the 1996 STS-80 Space Shuttle Columbia mission shows a small triangular or cone-shaped object photographed by astronauts in orbit. What has been released in previous batches? The Pentagon began releasing files on May 8, following Trump's executive order directing the declassification of government records related to UAPs and extraterrestrial life. Three batches were published before this one, on May 8, May 22, and June 12. The first batch included archival photos, military video and documents related to NASA's Apollo 12, Apollo 17 and Gemini 7 missions, during which astronauts reported unexplained sightings. The second included a first-hand account from a senior intelligence officer who described a series of close encounters lasting over an hour from a military helicopter. He wrote that he observed 'countless orange orbs swarming in all directions against the backdrop of the mountain' and said he was 'virtually speechless after these observations'. The third batch included testimony from five FBI agents who reported seeing strange orbs on the horizon in 2023. One recalled his partner asking: "Are you seeing this?" It also included a 2008 CIA report about a disc-shaped object with rotating lights seen above an airport in Zimbabwe, which was transmitted to the White House Situation Room. Previous releases have also shown footage of UFOs near foreign submarines, objects moving at speeds that appear impossible under known physics, and silent hovering orbs observed over US military bases. Former senior Defence Department official Christopher Mellon has said these incursions happen 'hundreds' of times a year, including one incident where UAPs violated airspace over Langley Air Force Base for 17 consecutive days. The Pentagon has previously stated that it has found no confirmed evidence of extraterrestrial life. But it has also acknowledged that these cases remain unresolved, meaning it cannot rule it out either. The question is, what is it? Credit: Pentagon What has the reaction been? Mixed, as always. UFO researchers have pointed to the shapeshifting footage and the Yellow Sea sensor degradation as the most significant clips in any of the four batches so far. Sceptics have noted that most of the videos remain blurry, ambiguous, and open to multiple interpretations. TMZ described the footage as 'head-scratching' and asked readers: "If seeing is believing, what do you make of what you saw?" The Debrief, a defence and intelligence publication, noted that 'most of the new videos leave much to the imagination'. The Pentagon has said it will continue to release additional files on a rolling basis. Where can you watch the footage? All four batches of declassified files are available on the Pentagon's PURSUE site at WAR.GOV/UFO. The site includes video, photographs, historical documents, and detailed descriptions of each file, including when and where the footage was captured and which military or government agency submitted it. The fifth batch has not yet been given a release date.

Prince Harry has had a shocking week — and now may need to rely on pals like Elton John to help pay millions of dollars in legal fees, Page Six can reveal. The renegade royal’s UK trip this week had descended into humiliating farce, but there was a bright spot on Friday: After days of whispers and briefings from Sussex sources and royal insiders, Harry finally got his wish and met King Charles and Queen Camilla with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children.Finally, Harry made a bolt to Highgrove, his father’s country estate, where Charles and Camilla were reunited with the children for the first time in four years.Harry learned he had lost his court case against Associated Newspapers on Tuesday, just before a meeting in London.

The palace said he had missed their requested deadline.Harry went back to his philanthropy roots as he embraced a nurse at Birmingham Children’s Hospital during a visit on Thursday.

POOL/AFP via Getty ImagesOne insider said the decision was partly operational, as there was a lack of time to bring household staff into the residence, which is currently under renovation — but admitted palace courtiers were worried it would be constitutionally problematic for the king if Harry stayed there on the same day he lost his court case against Associated Newspapers Ltd.On Tuesday, he lost his privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail— and could face up to $20 million (£15m)  in legal fees which, sources told Page Six, he does not have.Harry, 41, and his fellow claimants, who sued ANL over allegations of unlawful information gathering in stories about them, will have just 14 days to pay the fees after a judge finalizes costs later this month, even if they ask for the right to appeal.Harry then took part in events including wheelchair basketball at the “One Year to Go” event ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. BACKGRIDHarry was seen aiming an air pistol during the Invictus event. BACKGRID“The people funding the case will likely help Harry with costs,” a legal source familiar with the case said. The estate of the late Formula 1 tycoon Max Mosley, along with campaign group Hacked Off, accused of attempting to undermine press freedom, helped fund the claimants’ research.But the legal source also feels an old friend of Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, might step up: “Elton John could also well help Harry out. They’re extremely close.”  The singer, who performed for the Harry and Markle at their 2018 wedding, has a personal fortune of $640 million, according to the UK Sunday Times Rich List. Harry was determined his children should meet their grandfather, friends said. Instagram/@meghanWe have reached out to reps for Elton John for comment.“Harry definitely doesn’t have the money for it,” revealed a well-placed insider, adding that Markle will “likely be very furious about the fees. She did not want him to [pursue the case].”A Sussex rep declined to comment on this allegation.It all comes at a time when the couple’s earning power is in question.Charles seemed charmed by the penguins at London Zoo. JOHN RAINFORD / BACKGRIDThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex pay around $3 million a year on security, and Page Six is told they have two mortgages on their $14.5 million home in Montecito, California.They have lost their exclusive production deal with Netflix, but still have a first-look deal with the streamer under their Archewell production banner. As of Friday, two scripted movies they are producing, based on the hit books “Meet Me By The Lake” and “The Wedding Date,” have been listed as “in development” for over a year.So is their Netflix feature based on British Army Major Adam Jowett’s memoir “No Way Out: The Searing True Story of Men Under Siege,” although, as an industry source pointed out, that project was only announced in May.Prince Charles and Kate Middleton were at a polo match in Windsor on Friday, an hour away from Highgrove — where Harry and Meghan Markle and their kids had tea with Charles and Camilla. ZUMAPRESS.comDespite reports, we’re told the couple is not making a documentary to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of Diana’s death next year.In March 2021, Harry told CBS that he had been forced to subsist on the money his mother left him after being cut off financially from his family in March 2020, when the Sussexes stepped down as working royals and moved to the US.“I’ve got what my mum left me, and without that we would not have been able to do this,” Harry said.Legal sources say Elton John could help financially contribute to Harry’s legal costs for their court case.

POOL/AFP via Getty ImagesAs we reported, Markle has become the main breadwinner as Harry focuses on his philanthropy. But her lifestyle brand, As Ever, remains limited — with just 15 products sold in various incarnations. Sales figures for the private company are not available.The loss of a big court case is precisely what they did not need.Harry signed up to the legal action with celebrities including Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, the movie producer ex-wife of Jude Law — along with Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the mother of Stephen Lawrence, a black British teenager who was murdered in a racist attack in London in 1993.Harry and Markle took Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to Highgrove to meet their grandfather for the first time in four years. Getty ImagesThey all claimed to have been victims of Mail journalists who allegedly used unlawful methods to obtain private information. Harry told the court Markle’s life had been made an “absolute misery” by the British press.However, judge Matthew Nicklin was scathing in his decision — stating “Suspicion, even understandable suspicion, is not proof” and finding that the stories could have originated from legitimate sources. The UK Times reported Thursday that the litigation insurers for Harry’s case could now pull the plug on their $20 million (£15m) insurance, meaning he and the other claimants could be liable for the cost.Harry had refused to bring his kids over to the UK this week due to security fears. meghan/Instagram“Associated Newspapers can chose who they proceed against [for costs], and who is liable to pay,” Colin Campbell, a former costs judge who sat in the High Court at the Royal Courts of Justice in London and is now a consultant at the specialist costs law firm Kain Knight, told Page Six.“They can choose who has the most money and who will be easiest to get payment from … It could be Elton John, Prince Harry and Elizabeth Hurley … they don’t have to go to each claimant separately” However, these claimants have the right to get money back from the other people involved in the case.ANL has said that the overall costs during the litigation amounted to £50 million, but it’s up to presiding judge Nicklin to decide the final costs.Campbell pointed out that when Nicklin rules on an amount, Harry and the other claimants will face a 14-day deadline for up to 90%.Harry, however, held his head high he went to visit a children’s hospital in Birmingham on Thursday before joining veterans to promote the Invictus Games, which will be held in the city next year, on Friday.Page Six had been reporting for months that Harry hoped to bring his wife and children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, to his homeland during this trip. He reportedly nixed the plans amid security concerns — he has been denied armed VIP police — then managed to get them over from Portugal, where the three had been vacationing, for a reunion with Charles.Charles had only seen Archie a handful of times — including at the prince’s July 2019 christening — and only met Lilibet once. APThe Duke of Sussex, as expected, did not see his estranged brother, Prince William, even though both were in London this week. As Harry and his family were having tea with Charles and Queen Camilla at the monarchs’ Highgrove House, William and wife Kate Middleton were at a polo tournament in Windsor, around an hour’s drive away.“Honestly, your kids and Meghan must be so proud of you,” British TV host Alison Hammond told Harry Friday. “Do they tell you every day?”“They don’t tell me every day that they’re proud of me. But yeah, I’m proud of them. They’re proud of me,” Harry replied. “I love my family.”

Maitland Ward's Bold Move: The Unexpected Rules She Set in Her Adult Film Career

Maitland Ward's Bold Move: The Unexpected Rules She Set in Her Adult Film Career

A former Disney Channel actor has opened up about the ins and outs - pun intended - of her new career in the adult industry. If you grew up watching Boy Meets World, you'll probably be familiar with the actress , who featured in seasons six and seven. Appearing in films such as Dish Dogs and White Chicks, Maitland Ward had a decent career in the TV & Film industry before pivoting to something more lucrative and NSFW. You may recognise her as Rachel McGuire in the aforementioned Disney show, which was her breakout role, though this was over 25 years ago. She has previously revealed that some of her former Disney co-stars have been supportive of her new venture, though many have distanced themselves. Now, Ward has featured in a number of pornographic videos, and posts explicit snaps of herself on social media. Maitland Ward is now an adult entertainer. Credit: Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images. Details in Maitland Ward's adult acting contract Ward was a guest on Ryan Sickler's The Honeydew podcast , and opened up about the realities of her career. She admitted that getting into the industry wasn't straightforward, after having some tricky conversations with her husband, though admitted that he was 'very supportive' in the end. Ward explained that she had been "very sheltered" when she was young, and that there "were things I really wanted to try and do." One of these things seemed to be a venture into the adult industry, though she clarified: "In this adult space, first of all, you're tested for any STDs, all the time. You're with professionals. You're in a setup that you've okayed and consented on, and made the rules and everything." The adult actress revealed that you can put restrictions in, as the host listed: "Ahead of time you're like, 'can't c*m in me, can't smack my face,' so you lay out all your rules out." "That's how it is with any porn scene," Ward said. She added: "Yeah, you have to have all the consent and all the no's and yes's, and these things are more money," Ward pointed out, confirming that things like an anal sex scene would pay more. The actress says you can put restrictions in your porn contract. Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Maitland Ward's first scene with a man She admitted she was 'nervous as hell' for her first scene, when asked by Sickler. Ward recalled: "The first time I actually had full sex on camera with a guy was with a British guy, a great guy. "If it wouldn't have gone so well with him cause he was just funny, because my husband and him were talking beforehand." "He comes to the room, he's joking, he's fun and then we get into it and then it just flows. "The whole thing just happens and at the end of it he said to me, 'I thought you were going to be nervous.'" Ward also explained that she picked him to be her first on-screen partner after a recommendation from a different adult actress. Featured image credit: Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images
