A leaked Barron Trump photo has got on his mother's nerves, as she has threatened to take action against those responsible for circulating the snap.

Melania Trump has released a statement over claims that club members at Mar-a-Lago had taken pictures of the teenager, as he went around with his President father.

The First Lady, like the rest of the family, has been a regular feature in headlines since Donald Trump began his second term in office.

Melania made headlines earlier this year after her biographical self-titled film reportedly struggled to sell tickets, despite being the second most expensive documentary ever made, though factoring in the marketing budget makes it the most expensive ever.

Now, her goal of keeping her only child out of the public eye has been made obvious once again.

You may have heard a lot about Trump's youngest child, Barron, and even seen him with the President in public settings, with his 6'9" stature tending to stand out.

Now 19, his mother is still determined to keep him away from the media, unlike his older half-siblings - Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany.

There's a reason we haven't seen the towering teen much over the years, and it was witnessed at Mar-a-Lago around Christmas time.

Sources said that the incident was 'upsetting', as Barron was seen walking through the club's dining area, quiet, while alongside his father.

A source told journalist Rob Shuter that he was 'solemnly following his father through the dining room. He was quiet, very reserved, wearing his usual blue suit, almost mirroring Donald. He didn’t smile or interact much'.

But while he was doing this, some club members took photos of him without permission, with some of these being leaked online - a serious violation in Melania's eyes.

A source told Shuter that Melania then made sure to get her message across on the severity of the situation, as the source explained: "Melania made it very clear that Barron’s privacy is non-negotiable, anyone caught filming or taking pictures would face immediate consequences, including potential banning from the club."

The club have understandably come to Melania's side, with the leaked footage of Barron quickly becoming controversial.

Barron even relocated from NYU's main campus in New York to their Washington, D.C., campus to avoid unwanted attention and likely to be closer to his parents.

Members who were caught taking snaps of the teenager could be banned from the club, as the source said: "The message was clear: no cameras, no leaks. Private family moments stay private."
