Jacqueline Kennedy, one of the most esteemed and revered First Ladies in history, transcends her iconic status as a style icon. Her influence extends beyond her fashion choices, and even her husband, President John F. Kennedy, acknowledged her pivotal role in his victorious campaign.
Through personal traumas and professional highs and lows, Jacqueline remained a caring and encouraging role model for her children. Her oldest granddaughter, now an adult and a Harvard graduate, serves as a living legacy, sharing her grandmother’s appreciation for the arts.
Born on July 28, 1929, in Southampton, New York, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier became a well-liked and respected individual in her own right before marrying John F. Kennedy. She excelled as a book editor, earned recognition as a significant First Lady, and received accolades for her support of the arts and historic preservation.
Jacqueline married John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1953, and their daughter Caroline was born in 1957. Tragically, only Caroline and her brother John Jr. survived infancy out of the couple’s four children. After John’s assassination in 1963, Jacqueline remarried but did not have more children.
Jacqueline’s oldest granddaughter, Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, now 34, bears a striking resemblance to her grandmother. Despite participating in various campaigns, Rose has chosen not to pursue a political career.
Instead, she shares similarities with her grandmother, including an interest in writing. After obtaining her BA in English, Rose created the comedy series “End Times Girls Club,” highlighting her skills as a writer.
Rose, named after her maternal great-grandmother, Jacqueline’s mother, has often been compared to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Although Jacqueline passed away when Rose was only six years old, they shared a close bond during Rose’s upbringing.
Rose experienced a profound loss when her uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., died in a plane crash in 1999. C. David Heymann, a Kennedy historian, noted Rose’s deep grief during that period.
Recent reports suggest that Rose married Rory McAuliffe in May 2022, a union celebrated by the family. Their relationship began while working as caterers at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
These recent developments and the striking resemblance between Rose and her famous grandmother reflect Jacqueline Kennedy’s enduring legacy. Her grandchildren, including Rose, continue to honor her memory.
