Melania Trump - former model, First Lady of the United States, self-described full-time mum and a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

In the same way the US has never had a leader like Donald Trump before , the same could be argued about its FLOTUS.

In stark contrast to her husband, Melania has a cut a rather private and reserved figure since the inauguration.

This discretion on Melania's part has arguably only whetted the appetite for any insight into her life.

Take her parents coming to visit, for example.

Not a huge deal in and of itself. Except the eyes of the world were on Viktor and Amalija Knavs as they disembarked Air Force One - and a lot of people were struck by her dad's appearance.

Beady-eyed watchers couldn't help but be struck by how, erm, familiar Viktor looked.

The red tie, the suit, his age and frame - when you throw all these things together, you could argue he bears a resemblance to his daughter's husband.

Naturally, people had a lot to say about the similarities.

So what do we know about Viktor Knavs?

Once a card-carrying member of the Communist Party, Viktor worked as a car salesman in his native Slovenia.

He met his wife, Amalija, a pattern-maker at a children's clothing factory in 1966. After marrying, the family were said to live well, comparatively, for the times.

Of the resemblance between her dad and husband, Melania herself once told GQ : "They're both hardworking. They're both very smart and very capable.

"They grew up in totally different environments, but they have the same values, they have the same tradition.

"I myself am similar to my husband. Do you understand what I mean? So is my dad; he is a family man, he has tradition, he was hardworking. So is my husband."

Still, the hair is a slightly different.
