Melania Trump discreetly urged Donald Trump to participate in the 'Sign of Peace' at Pope Francis's funeral, prompting him to shake hands with other world leaders after initially remaining passive. A lip reader revealed Melania's whispered instructions: 'You should do it.'
Donald Trump's choice of a blue suit and tie, deviating from the required dark suit and black tie, drew criticism on X (formerly Twitter) for perceived disrespect. Other world leaders, including Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, also faced similar criticism for their attire.
The funeral, attended by hundreds of thousands of mourners, including world leaders and royalty, adhered to a strict dress code. The service itself followed a traditional Catholic mass format, culminating in the Pope's burial at Santa Maria Maggiore, a departure from tradition.
