A highly organized group of sex workers, known locally as the 'Merry Madams of Windsor,' has reportedly set up operations just steps from Windsor Castle , thrusting the closely guarded royal residence into an unexpected spotlight. The group is openly offering services from upscale apartments and homes near the castle's historic walls, drawing widespread attention from royal observers, local authorities, and the public alike.Investigations reveal that several sex workers are charging upwards of £200 (approximately $268) per hour, according to advertisements uncovered on adult service websites. In fact, RadarOnline's findings indicate over a dozen individuals openly marketing their services within a mile of Windsor Castle, suggesting a visible, efficiently coordinated network.The illicit activity is not limited to private residences. Online local guides have flagged Windsor Great Park as a prominent 'dogging' location, identifying particular car parks used by couples and voyeurs during quieter hours. Sources highlighted in the exposé also named the area near the Windsor Racecourse and the River Thames, especially around the Windsor Lad pub, as notable venues frequented by those seeking discreet encounters.The scandal is particularly jarring given Windsor Castle's storied status. As a historic symbol of the British monarchy, the castle was a favored home of Queen Elizabeth II and continues to serve as a setting for important state and royal family events, including the annual Order of the Garter ceremony.While current monarch King Charles III prefers his other residences, Clarence House and Highgrove House , Windsor remains a focal point for royal life and tourism. Reports from royal insiders suggest that the king and his close staff would be 'shocked' by the news, which stands in sharp contrast to the castle's image of tradition and respectability.Local residents and community allies have voiced concerns over the growing presence of the sex trade in this traditionally dignified borough. Many fear that the unchecked proliferation of these activities might tarnish Windsor's reputation and deter tourists who flock to witness its rich history and royal connections.Despite the controversy and the mounting public pressure, neither the palace nor law enforcement officials have issued official statements addressing these allegations.

US justice department asks court to unseal Epstein grand jury records
Agency: PTI Last Updated: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department asked a federal court on Friday to unseal grand jury transcripts in Jeffrey Epstein's case amid a firestorm over the Trump administration's handling of records related to the wealthy financier. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche filed motions urging the court to release the Epstein transcripts as well as those in the case against convicted British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell a day after President Donald Trump directed the Justice department to do so. The Trump administration has been embroiled in controversy since the Justice Department last week announced that it would not be releasing any more evidence in its possession from Epstein's investigation. Trump's demand to release the grand jury transcripts came after The Wall Street Journal reported on a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper says bore Trump's name and was included in a 2003 album for Epstein's 50th birthday. Trump denied writing the letter, calling it 'false, malicious, and defamatory." The Justice Department said it will work with with prosecutors in New York to make appropriate redactions of victim-related information and other personally identifying information before transcripts are released. Grand jury transcripts — which could show the testimony of witnesses and other evidence presented by prosecutors — are rarely released by courts, unless they need to be disclosed in connection with a judicial proceeding. Even with the Justice Department endorsement, it could take weeks or months of legal wrangling to decide what can be released and how to protect witnesses and other sensitive victim information.

‘Keep spreading the word': Tommy Robinson shares cryptic message on social media; urges people to assemble in London
Image: X@/TRobinsonNewEra Far-right British activist Tommy Robinson on Sunday shared a cryptic post calling people to assemble in London but gave no further details. 'The amount of people contacting me who are travelling from Ireland to London for September 13th is insane . We appreciate the support,' he posted on X. — TRobinsonNewEra (@TRobinsonNewEra) One user commented 'Train tickets are booked for me gf & friends. And more friends say they are coming. Keep spreading the word,' sharing a picture of them wearing a t-shirt that read 'September 13th London be there…enough is enough!!' Another user said 'What is there on September 13th in London?' 'Booked my tickets from Ireland yesterday. Meeting lads I've not seen for years. I wouldn't miss this for the world,' another user commented. Robinson previously posted 'the future belongs to patriots, nothing can stop what is coming.' It is unclear whether these two posts are related. Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, 42, is known for his controversial statements, inflammatory views, and has a vocal presence on social media. He has previously been imprisoned for assault (2005), mortgage fraud (2014), and contempt of court offences (2019). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NYC Hotel Smartphone Booking | Bookmark Now! | New York City Hotel Booking | Mill Canyon Road Click Here Undo Robinson presents himself as a whistleblower suppressed by the state, a narrative that has gained substantial online support, including public backing from Elon Musk. The latter reinstated Robinson's X account earlier this year and substantiated his claims about establishment failures in prosecuting child exploitation cases. 'Why is Tommy Robinson in a solitary confinement prison for telling the truth? He should be freed and those who covered up this travesty should take his place in that cell,' Musk said at the time. Robinson was initially a member of the far-right British National Party and in 2009, he co-founded the English Defence League (EDL) to protest the activities of a small Salafist group in Luton. While the movement claimed to oppose "Islamist fascism," its influence waned in the early 2010s following revelations of ties to Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in July 2011, as per Le Monde.
