Helen Mirren made an incredibly astute point about Melania Trump

Dame Helen Mirren has recently shared her thoughts on America's First Lady Melania Trump.

The First Lady has kept a relatively low profile of late, passing on many of the traditional hosting and policy duties to First Daughter Ivanka Trump.

In an interview with Allure magazine, Mirren had this to say about 'old Mel'

You look at old Mel there, and she is one of the most powerful women in the world because she could take him down

Allure write Michelle Lee says Mirren continued, mischievously:

She almost did that with the hand. [She puts on a Disney Evil Stepmother voice and mimics the hand brush-off seen round the world.] ‘Don’t touch me.’

Mirren was referring to footage released in May that appeared to show Melania slapping away the President's hand.
