<p>In a perfect blend of horror and chilling, she walked, or rather slithered, in an elaborate green costume with snake-like scales. While her body was that of a snake, her head was that of Medusa, with a crown of snakes that were moving. Truly, what a perfection!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Klum looked completely unrecognizable in the look she was carrying. With her elaborate snake-skin costume, which also had a huge tail, she wore a giant headpiece that had snakes. Adding little details, she even had spiky teeth and a snake tongue, along with green eye lenses. Talking about her look, Heidi said earlier that it's going to be ‘’very ugly because I always try to do something different.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Last year, she and husband Tom Kaulitz transformed themselves into the extraterrestrial's aliens from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic E.T.</p>

Heidi Klum has chosen to be Medusa for her Halloween 2025 NYC annual party. The supermodel has once again left everyone in shock with Halloween transformation.

Prince Andrew's exit from Royal lodge: Where will be his next residence?

<p>Prince Andrew is no longer a prince. The erstwhile Duke of York will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as his alleged scandalous past has caught up with him—particularly due to a voice from the grave: Virginia Giuffre, who claimed during her life, and again in her posthumous book, that she was a victim of sex trafficking involving the now-former British royal. The favourite child of the late Queen Elizabeth II, the 65-year-old former fighter pilot went from playboy to the poster boy of disgrace. At the height of his fame, Andrew was seen as a modern royal—glamorous, global, and entrepreneurial. But today, his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, stand embarrassed by the actions of their father. This is his story:</p><h2>The life of Prince Andrew: Privilege and pomp</h2><p>Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward was born on 19 February 1960 at Buckingham Palace. The third child—and second son—of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, he was known for his charm and energy.</p><p>He joined the Royal Navy in 1979 and served as a helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands War, flying dangerous missions that earned him recognition as a war hero.

According to public records, Andrew visited Epstein’s properties in New York, Palm Beach, and the Caribbean. The association continued even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex offences. Andrew hosted Epstein and Maxwell at Windsor Castle in 2006 and stayed at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 2010, supposedly to “end” their friendship. Later emails, however, revealed continued contact. Epstein also paid £15,000 towards Sarah Ferguson’s debts.</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/king-charles-strips-prince-andrew-of-all-royal-titles-orders-him-out-of-windsor-home-1761872104652">King Charles strips Prince Andrew of all royal titles, orders him to vacate Windsor castle</a></p><h2>Virginia Giuffre: The woman who brought down Prince Andrew, in life and after death</h2><p>In 2014, Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s sex trafficking victims, publicly accused Andrew of sexually abusing her. The abuse, she claimed, took place after she was a trafficked as a 17-year-old in London, New York, and on Epstein’s private island in the Virgin Islands. A now-infamous photo showed Andrew with his arm around Giuffre’s waist, with Maxwell smiling beside them.</p><p>In public remarks, including a disastrous 2019 BBC interview, Andrew claimed to have “no recollection” of Giuffre and denied all allegations. His bizarre justifications—including a medical condition preventing him from sweating and an alibi involving a visit to Pizza Express—only made matters worse. Sponsors withdrew support, and within days, he stepped down from public duties.</p><p>Giuffre’s pursuit of justice continued. She sued Andrew in 2021 for sexual assault, and after failing to have the case dismissed, he settled out of court in February 2022 for a reported £12 million without admitting guilt. The late Queen stripped him of military roles, royal patronages, and the use of “His Royal Highness.”</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/where-will-be-prince-andrew-s-next-residence-after-royal-lodge-exit-1761898950853">Where will be Prince Andrew's next residence after Royal lodge exit?</a></p><h2>Epstein file disclosures: The brother king takes action</h2><p>In early 2025, new Epstein files released by US authorities, followed by leaked emails in which Andrew urged Epstein to stay in touch and promised to “play again,” reignited public outrage.

Prince Andrew, new name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, now holds no official role or privileges. The former Duke of York has been evicted from Royal Lodge. Two dead people - sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his victim Virginia Gueffre- caused the downfall of the former British royal. But how?

But his friendship with the late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein became his ultimate undoing. The two met around 1999 through Ghislaine Maxwell, a London socialite and Epstein’s then-girlfriend. According to public records, Andrew visited Epstein’s properties in New York, Palm Beach, and the Caribbean. The association continued even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex offences. Andrew hosted Epstein and Maxwell at Windsor Castle in 2006 and stayed at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 2010, supposedly to “end” their friendship. Later emails, however, revealed continued contact. Epstein also paid £15,000 towards Sarah Ferguson’s debts.

The abuse, she claimed, took place after she was a trafficked as a 17-year-old in London, New York, and on Epstein’s private island in the Virgin Islands. A now-infamous photo showed Andrew with his arm around Giuffre’s waist, with Maxwell smiling beside them. In public remarks, including a disastrous 2019 BBC interview, Andrew claimed to have “no recollection” of Giuffre and denied all allegations. His bizarre justifications—including a medical condition preventing him from sweating and an alibi involving a visit to Pizza Express—only made matters worse. Sponsors withdrew support, and within days, he stepped down from public duties. Giuffre’s pursuit of justice continued. She sued Andrew in 2021 for sexual assault, and after failing to have the case dismissed, he settled out of court in February 2022 for a reported £12 million without admitting guilt. The late Queen stripped him of military roles, royal patronages, and the use of “His Royal Highness.” Also read: Where will be Prince Andrew's next residence after Royal lodge exit? Epstein file disclosures: The brother king takes action In early 2025, new Epstein files released by US authorities, followed by leaked emails in which Andrew urged Epstein to stay in touch and promised to “play again,” reignited public outrage. Fresh misconduct claims emerged, and the final blow came from Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, which described Andrew as having treated her “like property.” On October 17, Andrew relinquished his ducal titles. Facing mounting political and public pressure, King Charles III acted to protect the monarchy’s integrity. On Friday (Oct 31), the king formally removed his brother's “Prince” title and HRH style by royal warrant, ordering him to vacate his royal residence.

King Charles strips Prince Andrew of all royal titles, orders him to vacate Windsor castle

<p>Comedian Hasan Minhaj put Prince Harry in a bit of a spot and asked him to repeat a few lines in an American accent. The British royal appeared on Minhaj’s Doesn’t Know podcast on Wednesday, October 29, where he tried to win the hearts of Americans with an American accent. Harry is married to Meghan Markle, who is also an American.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Prince Harry’s American accent put to test</h2><p>During the podcast, Minhaj asked Harry if he could do an American accent, to which Harry responded, "Which part of America?" Hassan replied, "Anywhere," giving the Duke a sentence to recite.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He said, "This is the most American sentence I could think of: 'I ordered breadsticks with ranch dressing at Applebee's.'" Harry attempted to start, then laughed and asked the host to repeat the sentence. As Minhaj repeated the sentence, Harry copied him in the same style.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At one point, the Duke quipped that he was "just sitting here sweating," but was sporting enough to pull it off perfectly.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"That was decent," Hasan responded. After the Duke repeated the host’s second line, “Hey, do you like my Cybertruck?”, Hasan turned to people off camera and said, "You guys out there, you cannot laugh like this. We're having a real thing."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"No, but by the way, the laughter, it's encouraging. Is it encouraging or is it mocking me? I'm not sure," Harry said, adding with an American accent, "Come on, y'all."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Minhaj complemented the Prince’s perfect way of saying "y'all," and asked Harry about his "yee-haw," and the Duke let out an enthusiastic ‘Yee-haw.’</p>

<h2>Prince Harry and Meghan’s move to the US</h2><p>The royal couple live in California with their two children. They stepped back as senior members of the royal family in 2020. When he was asked what’s the “most American thing” he does now, Harry said,” Surfing. Or Is that American, or is that Californian?”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Apart from fun chat around American accents and habits, the two men also discussed the harmful effects of social media on kids, as well as the Duke’s work with The Parents’ Network, which supports families who have experienced harm due to social media.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Hasan Minhaj hosted Prince Harry on his podcast Doesn't Know and tested the British Royal's American accent. The Prince initially hesitant, played along and impressed the host while repeating a few lines in an American accent. 

Comedian Hasan Minhaj put Prince Harry in a bit of a spot and asked him to repeat a few lines in an American accent. The British royal appeared on Minhaj’s Doesn’t Know podcast on Wednesday, October 29, where he tried to win the hearts of Americans with an American accent. Harry is married to Meghan Markle, who is also an American. Prince Harry’s American accent put to test During the podcast, Minhaj asked Harry if he could do an American accent, to which Harry responded, "Which part of America?" Hassan replied, "Anywhere," giving the Duke a sentence to recite. He said, "This is the most American sentence I could think of: 'I ordered breadsticks with ranch dressing at Applebee's.'" Harry attempted to start, then laughed and asked the host to repeat the sentence. As Minhaj repeated the sentence, Harry copied him in the same style. At one point, the Duke quipped that he was "just sitting here sweating," but was sporting enough to pull it off perfectly. "That was decent," Hasan responded. After the Duke repeated the host’s second line, “Hey, do you like my Cybertruck?”, Hasan turned to people off camera and said, "You guys out there, you cannot laugh like this. We're having a real thing." "No, but by the way, the laughter, it's encouraging. Is it encouraging or is it mocking me? I'm not sure," Harry said, adding with an American accent, "Come on, y'all." Minhaj complemented the Prince’s perfect way of saying "y'all," and asked Harry about his "yee-haw," and the Duke let out an enthusiastic ‘Yee-haw.’

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>When it comes to breast health, most women focus only on the breasts, looking for lumps, changes in shape, or nipple discharge. Our bodies often send early signals long before a problem turns serious, and the most overlooked area for those signals is the armpit. Though armpits are small body parts and often ignored, this area can reveal significant information about your breast health. What may seem like a minor lump or tenderness could be the body’s way of drawing attention to something deeper.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Link Between Armpits and Breasts</h2><p>The armpit and breast are more connected than most people will ever know. They share the same lymphatic channels and fatty tissue that help to drain toxins from the body and have a function to support the day-to-day functions. That’s why changes in anyone can actually tell what’s happening in the other.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/breast-cancer-awareness-month-2025-doctors-explain-how-self-exams-and-lifestyle-changes-can-lower-the-risk-1760775814323">Doctors explain how self-exams, lifestyle changes can lower Breast Cancer risk</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Surender Kumar Dabas, Chairman - Manipal Comprehensive Cancer Centre and Onco Robotic Surgeries, North west Cluster, Manipal Hospitals, shares that, “If you notice a lump or continuous swelling or discomfort in your armpit that doesn’t reduce or go away within a few days, then it needs to be checked immediately. Sometimes, it’s just a simple infection or reaction to deodorant. Although many cases have been noticed where this ignorance is leading to serious breast-related issues like enlarged lymph nodes, cysts, and even breast cancer in extreme cases. Similarly, redness, creasing of skin, or a warming sensation from the breast to the underarm shouldn’t be ignored. Also, it is important to include the underarm in the monthly body check-up and gently use the pads of the fingers to check any new textures, swelling, or tenderness.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Clues you shouldn’t ignore</h2><p>People should watch out for the signs before it is too late:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. A lump or swelling that wasn’t there before: A small, painless lump in the armpit is usually caused by an infection or a clogged hair follicle. However, if it lasts more than two weeks, feels hard, or increases over time, it may indicate that the lymph nodes are reacting to cancer cells from the breast.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>2. Discomfort in the armpit: While soreness can be caused by shaving, deodorants, or muscle strain, persistent pain or swelling on one side, particularly if it does not improve, should be checked immediately</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. Thickened skin near the armpit: Early inflammatory breast cancer may cause the skin to look pitted or thickened. If this spreads to the armpit, it is a red flag that should not be ignored as a rash.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. Unexpected warmth, redness, or fluid discharge: Any unidentified warmth, redness, or discharge in the armpit area, particularly if not associated with an illness or shaving injury, requires medical treatment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>5. Changes in hair growth or sweating: In rare cases, sudden asymmetry, such as one armpit sweating less or feeling numb, may be caused by nerve involvement from deeper breast or lymphatic abnormalities.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/life-fun/not-every-aching-joint-needs-a-new-knee-doctor-shares-smarter-arthritis-care-for-every-stage-1760435538335"><strong>Not every aching joint needs a new knee: Doctor shares smarter arthritis care for every stage</strong></a></p><h2>Treatment and Prevention options available</h2><p>While not all breast or armpit changes are preventable, adopting healthy practices can significantly minimize the risk. Perform monthly self-exams, including the armpit area, and arrange annual mammograms or clinical check-ups after age 40, or earlier if there is a family history. Maintain a healthy weight, be physically active, and limit alcohol use to regulate hormones. Avoid tight clothing and harsh deodorants, which can irritate the underarms or hide early symptoms. When diagnosed early, therapy options like lumpectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, radiation, and targeted therapies provide favourable outcomes. The idea is to be aware of subtle changes and seek medical attention as soon as possible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Small changes in your armpits, like staying alert to lumps or skin changes and combining self-check-ups- ups with timely medical care and supportive therapies, can help to maintain armpit health as well as the breasts. After all, armpits are not just under your arms; they’re actually the windows of your breast health</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the doctor</strong></p>

The armpit and breast are more connected than most people will ever know. They share the same lymphatic channels and fatty tissue that help to drain toxins from the body and have a function to support the day-to-day functions. That’s why changes in anyone can actually tell what’s happening in the other.

When it comes to breast health, most women focus only on the breasts, looking for lumps, changes in shape, or nipple discharge. Our bodies often send early signals long before a problem turns serious, and the most overlooked area for those signals is the armpit. Though armpits are small body parts and often ignored, this area can reveal significant information about your breast health. What may seem like a minor lump or tenderness could be the body’s way of drawing attention to something deeper. Link Between Armpits and Breasts The armpit and breast are more connected than most people will ever know. They share the same lymphatic channels and fatty tissue that help to drain toxins from the body and have a function to support the day-to-day functions. That’s why changes in anyone can actually tell what’s happening in the other.

Sometimes, it’s just a simple infection or reaction to deodorant. Although many cases have been noticed where this ignorance is leading to serious breast-related issues like enlarged lymph nodes, cysts, and even breast cancer in extreme cases. Similarly, redness, creasing of skin, or a warming sensation from the breast to the underarm shouldn’t be ignored. Also, it is important to include the underarm in the monthly body check-up and gently use the pads of the fingers to check any new textures, swelling, or tenderness.” Clues you shouldn’t ignore People should watch out for the signs before it is too late: 1. A lump or swelling that wasn’t there before: A small, painless lump in the armpit is usually caused by an infection or a clogged hair follicle. However, if it lasts more than two weeks, feels hard, or increases over time, it may indicate that the lymph nodes are reacting to cancer cells from the breast.
