In the wake of Tatiana Schlossberg’s untimely death at just 35, tensions within the Kennedy family are again in the spotlight. Caroline Kennedy has faced unimaginable grief after losing her daughter, who bravely fought acute myeloid leukemia. In a surprising revelation, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared that he hasn’t spoken to Caroline recently, indicating that family divisions remain festering even in moments of tragedy.
Tatiana’s poignant essay on her diagnosis, where she took her cousin RFK Jr. to task for his controversial views on vaccinations, adds another layer of complexity to this already strained relationship. Family members have publicly voiced their discontent with RFK Jr. for endorsing Donald Trump, a decision they described as a betrayal of core Kennedy values. As the family navigates their grief, one can’t help but wonder—can love overcome longstanding disagreements in the wake of such a heartbreaking loss?
