Royalists have defended The Queen and Prince Philip after a new book made sensational claims about their sex life.

Lady Colin Campbell caused offence after she suggested the Queen had a ‘healthy sexual appetite’ and her husband was a ‘flirt’.

The 68-year-old, who was married to the Duke of Argyll’s son Lord Colin Campbell, said the couple had been discussed among their servants after having a wild wedding night in 1947.
When discussing Prince Phillip in the book entitled, The Queen’s Marriage, she wrote: “He loves the company of beautiful women. He’s a huge flirt.

A young father took his own life outside a probation office when he was told he couldn't see his baby son.

A young father took his own life outside a probation office when he was told he couldn't see his baby son.

Harry Slaughter, 21, was banned from seeing his son because he sent text messages to a schoolgirl he met on a train asking her to perform a sex act. A week before he killed himself last November, Harry Slaughter warned probation services what he was planning to do if he was not allowed to visit three-month-old Frankie.

He was convicted last year and tried to take his own life by drowning but he was rescued by police who saw him walking into the sea. After an assessment by mental health teams, it was found that he should not be admitted.
His mother, Jane Ward, told an inquest that he had tried to kill himself five times since the age of 16 after her marriage with his father broke down. She said he heard voices in his head and had panic attacks.

New music video to XXXTentacion’s single “SAD!” has just been released and it already has over 3 million views

An official music video for slain rapper XXXTentacion's single titled SAD! was released today and it's already got over 2 million views in only a few hours.
It is unclear when the video was recorded but back in April of this year XXXTentacion said on his Instagram Story that he would be releasing a video soon, so that might have been pertaining to this clip.
The video shows XXXTentacion come into the church during his own funeral. As mourners bow their head in sorrow, the rapper walks down the aisle to the pulpit where his body lay in a casket.
He stands for a while, looking at his dead body. Then all of a sudden, his body comes to life and attacks him. For most of the video, he is seen wrestling with his deceased self; a battle that he ultimately wins.

Ed Sheeran 'sued for $100m over Marvin Gaye song'

Ed Sheeran has reportedly been hit with a $100m (£76.5m) lawsuit for allegedly using many of the musical components in Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” for his 2014 hit, “Thinking Out Loud”.

A lawsuit filed in the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York claims the "Shape of You" singer copied Gaye’s “melody, rhythms, harmonies, drums, bassline, backing chorus, tempo, syncopation and looping” for the single that appeared on his album X, according to gossip website TMZ.

“Thinking Out Loud” reached No 1 in the UK chart and No 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while the album has sold over 15m copies.

The lawsuit was filed by Structured Asset Sales, which owns part of the copyright for the song Gaye released in 1973, the website claims.

Best evidence yet for alien life on Saturn's moon found by scientists

Large organic molecules blasted into space from deep-sea vents on one of Saturn's moons, show that it contains "all of the basic requirements for life as we know it”.

Plumes of material from cracks in Enceladus' icy surface were sampled by Nasa spacecraft Cassini, shortly before it plunged to its death in Saturn’s atmosphere.

A study of this data by an international team of researchers has found evidence of carbon-rich substances formed in the heart of the moon.

The scientists said they were “blown away” by the discovery.

Complex organic molecules do not necessarily provide a habitable environment, but on the other hand they are a necessary precursor for life,” Dr Frank Postberg from the University of Heidelberg, who led the research, told The Independent.
