Speaking to CNN, some insiders revealed that Melania has been “brushing up on her studies”, which is a notable change from her previous term in the White House.

According to the network, she has privately acknowledged that the position was a whirlwind of duties that she was mainly “unaware of the first time.”

Donald Trump took the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States in Washington, D.C.

Melania arrived to St. John's Episcopal Church on Monday morning wearing a wide-brimmed hat, black leather gloves, and a fitted navy blue coat. It was a dramatic change from Melania's appearance at Trump's inauguration in 2017, when she donned a cashmere dress and a baby-blue Ralph Lauren jacket.

Melania Trump recalls “very challenging” time at WH

Admitting that it has “a very different transition [the] second time around”, Melania has earlier said that she “has everything” she needs to get ready for a second term in the White House.

After Michelle Obama chose not to attend Trump's second inauguration, she even poked fun at the Obamas for what she describes as a “challenging transition” in 2017.

When Fox & Friends anchor Ainsley Earhardt asked Melania what has changed from her first term as First Lady till now, she said: “The difference is I know where I will be going, I know the rooms where we will be living. I know the process.”

She called the first time “challenging” as she “didn't have much of the information.”

Additionally, the 54-year-old stated that she will divide her time between Palm Beach, New York, and Washington, D.C.

She stressed that being a wife, mother, and first lady are her top priorities.
