Two Kennedy children died immediately after birth, and John Fitzgerald Jr., along with his wife, died in a plane crash in July 1999. Only Carolyn Kennedy managed to escape the curse of the clan. The daughter of the 35th president of the United States continues the work of John, doing law, politics and charity.
Marriage with John F. Kennedy
Jacqueline Kennedy (née Bouvier) met the future president of the United States in 1952. A year later, they exchanged rings, and a year later she earned her first nervous breakdown. Since childhood, Jacqueline dreamed of female happiness, but she had to harmoniously fit into the Kennedy clan and put up with John's love of love.
The first years of the marriage were also overshadowed by the fact that the first daughter of Jacqueline and John was born dead. Jacqueline has long endured this tragedy.
Kennedy spouse children
By the time John became president of the United States, the couple already had two children. Carolyn was born on November 27, 1957. A year earlier, Jacqueline had already given birth to a baby, who was called Arabella, but the girl died at birth. John the Younger - the third child of the spouses and the first son - was born on November 25, 1960.
In 1963, on the eve of the election campaign of her husband, who decided to run for the next term, Jacqueline became pregnant again. This time a boy was born, but he, like the first girl, did not live long - only three days. Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born prematurely, the cause of his death was the immaturity of the lungs, the baby could not breathe on its own.
Jacqueline, as well as after the first birth, was very upset by the loss, but now she was distracted by the care of the children - Carolyn and John. Later, she switched to helping her husband in preparing a new election campaign. True, a tragedy soon happened to him. John Kennedy was shot in 1963.
Carolyn Kennedy
Carolyn spent part of her childhood at the White House, and when her father, the 35th president of the United States, was shot dead in Dallas, she moved to Manhattan with her mother and brother. Carolyn Kennedy graduated from Harvard College, and then began working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The girl was fond of philosophy and photography, she even moonlighted as an assistant correspondent at the 1976 Olympics. But nevertheless, Caroline’s main activity was related to politics, law and charity.
She worked in the Department of Education in New York, participated in the election campaign of Barack Obama, was the US Ambassador to Japan. Currently, the daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Carolyn is the head of the Kennedy Library.
Carolyn married American designer Edwin (Ed) Schlossberg. At first, Jacqueline was against her daughter's relationship with a man who is twelve years older than her, but Caroline insisted. The marriage was happy. The couple had a son and two daughters.
The granddaughter of John F. Kennedy - Rose Schlossberg - was born in 1988. The girl graduated from Harvard and works as a videographer. Another granddaughter - Tatyana Shlossberg - was born in 1990. She graduated from Yale University and found herself in journalism. The grandson of John and Jacqueline - John Schlossberg - was born in 1993. The young man graduated from Yale. He studied the history and culture of Japan. John is also an active member of the Democratic Party (its youth organization), engaged in charity work.
John Kennedy Jr.
John Kennedy's son was born two weeks after his father became president. Throughout his life, from birth in the White House to death, he has been under the scrutiny of the press. John Kennedy died when his son was barely three years old. The whole world then flew over touching and sad frames: John the Younger salutes his father’s grave.
After the assassination of the president, John Kennedy Jr. lived in Manhattan with his mother and sister. The young man graduated from Phillips Academy and Brown University, although all members of the Kennedy family had previously studied at Harvard. After graduating, John Kennedy Jr. worked as an assistant prosecutor for some time, and he also founded the journal George.
Kennedy Jr. was considered an enviable groom. In 1996, he married Carolyn Bisset. John F. Kennedy and Carolyn Bisset had no children.
The death of the president’s son is often associated with the curse of the family. July 16, 1999 John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bisset crashed. The plane, personally controlled by John, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. There was mourning in the country about his death.
