Incoming First Lady Melania Trump is widely known for having adopted a lower public profile than that held by many of her predecessors.

However, Mrs. Trump made a highly visible move this week when she traveled to Capitol Hill with her husband. 

Mr. and Mrs. Trump attend Jimmy Carter's funeral

According to the Daily Mail, Mrs. Trump was seen accompanying President-elect Donald Trump in Washington D.C. on Thursday.

There they joined a host of other dignitaries at former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton also in attendance.

The soon-to-be first lady was clad in a black dress and held her husband's hand as they made their way through the Washington National Cathedral.

Carter passed away late last month at his home in Plains, Georgia. The Carter Center noted how at 100 years old, he was America's oldest former president.

Documentary promises "unprecedented behind-the-scenes look" at Mrs. Trump

Meanwhile, Fox News reported earlier this week that Amazon Prime has licensed a documentary film about Mrs. Trump's life.

The production promises to offer an "unprecedented behind-the-scenes look" as the new first lady and is expected to be released online and in theaters during the latter half of this year.

"We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world," Fox News quoted an Amazon spokesperson as saying in a statement.

News of the documentary came just three months after Mrs. Trump released her New York Times best-selling memoir titled "Melania."

Mrs. Trump intends to focus on helping children

She told Fox News that writing the book was "an amazing journey filled with emotional highs and lows" as "each story shaped me into who I am today."

"Although daunting at times, the process has been incredibly rewarding, reminding me of my strength, and the beauty of sharing my truth," she added.

Mrs. Trump also said that she hopes to spend the next four years making sure children have the "support and resources they need to reach their full potential."

"My focus would continue to be creating a safe and nurturing space for children to learn, grow and thrive," the incoming first lady stressed.

" A free people [claim] their rights, as derived from the laws of nature."
