Melania Trump was spotted allegedly advising Donald Trump on what he 'should' do in a moment during Pope Francis' funeral proceedings.
Earlier today, the funeral proceedings of the former head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, commenced after the religious leader passed away on April 21.
Hundreds of thousands flocked to St Peter's Square in Vatican City to pay their respects including world leaders such as President of France Emmanuel Macron, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister of the UK Keir Starmer and Prince William.

Also in attendance was US president Donald Trump and first lady Melania - the pair flying out from Washington, D.C. on Friday.
While at the Vatican City, Trump was spotted making a particular 'seven-word comment' to his wife, however, Melania was also caught making an alleged suggestion to her husband regarding his etiquette.
During the two-hour long service, it's reported attendees are invited to turn to those next to them and shake hands as a 'sign of peace'.
Lip reading expert Nicola Hickling - from Lip Reader Limited, speaking on behalf of Oddspedia - told the Express she believes Melania turned round to Trump to say: "You should go do it."

The expert claims Melania even repeated herself before Trump's alleged response: "Oh, alright."
The POTUS then proceeded to shake hands with President of Finland Alexander Stubb, alongside President of France, Emmanuel Macron.
UNILAD has contacted a representative for Melania Trump for a comment.
If Trump was indeed reluctant to engage in the 'sign of peace,' well, it wouldn't be a massive surprise given the US president's unleashing of hefty tariffs on countries across the globe - a trade war Trump couldn't help but mention in the run-up to Francis' funeral.

Alongside being slammed online for turning up to the late pope's funeral in a blue suit as opposed to the traditional black - known for being a symbol of mourning and respect - Trump was also branded 'disrespectful' for his comments to media as he was leaving Washington DC.
Prior to leaving, Trump said of Francis: "[He] loved the world, actually, and he was just a good man. I thought he was a fantastic kind of a guy."
However, he then went on to discuss how the funeral would also see him able to 'meet with a lot' of other world leaders.

Trump told MSNBC: "It's going to be very interesting. We're going to meet with a lot of the foreign leaders, they want to meet.
"Trade deals are going very well. I think Russia and Ukraine, I think they are coming along, we hope, very fragile. And Iran I think is going very well. We'll see what happens. We're working on plenty of things."
A Twitter user responded: "My goodness. Please tell me Donald Trump isn’t going to try to work trade deals at Pope Francis’s funeral."

"Disrespectful," another added.
A third commented: "He should be shunned."
