Anna Wintour has apologised after she was overheard criticising Donald Trump on a train.

Vogue’s editor-in-chief was reportedly heard making negative comments about the President-elect and claiming that his charitable foundation the Trump foundation “has done nothing” and speaking, reports the Sunday Mirror.

She also claimed its board, which includes Mr Trump and his three eldest children: Donald Jr, Eric and Ivanka, is “packed with relatives and he’s going to use his presidency to sell himself and his brand and profit personally for himself and his family”.

Wintour, who was born and raised in Britain, is now a US citizen and is based in New York where she has been at the helm of the fashion magazine since 1988.

The magazine rallied its readers to vote for Hillary Clinton praising her "fierce intelligence and considerable experience". Separately, Wintour – an ardent Democrat – was spotted in numerous t-shirts supporting the candidate and organised fundraising events for her campaign.
