JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg dies of cancer aged just 35, six weeks after revealing her terminal illness

JFK’s granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, died of blood cancer at the age of 35, just six weeks after announcing her diagnosis.

The death of Kennedy’s son was announced Tuesday through the JFK Library Foundation’s social media accounts on behalf of his heartbroken relatives.

‘Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. ‘He will always be in our hearts,’ reads the post, signed by ‘George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory’.

New York-born Schlossberg announced in November that he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024.

The environmental journalist, writing in the New Yorker, said she had no symptoms and was ‘one of the healthiest people I know’ when she was diagnosed with shock.

Doctors discovered the disease only after routine blood tests after she gave birth to her second child.

She was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, whose parents were John F Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, and designer Edwin Schlossberg.

This is the latest tragedy to befall Caroline, who lost her father to an assassin’s bullet when she was five, her only brother, JFK Jr., in a plane crash years later, and her mother to lymphoma in 1994, when the iconic former First Lady was just 64 years old.

Schlossberg is survived by her husband, physician George Moran, and their two children, Edwin, 3, and Josephine, 1.

Writing about her diagnosis in the New Yorker, Schlossberg said she “couldn’t believe” what doctors were talking about when they said she would need chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.

‘The day before I swam a mile in the pool while I was nine months pregnant. I wasn’t sick. I didn’t feel sick. “I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew,” he wrote.

Schlossberg said his parents and siblings, Rose and Jack, supported him through months of grueling medical treatments.

‘[My family has] While I was in pain, he held my hand without hesitation and tried not to show his pain and sadness to protect me. “Even though I feel their pain every day, this has been a wonderful gift,” he wrote.

He also touched on the so-called ‘Kennedy curse’ in his article, saying he did not want to add a ‘new tragedy’ to his mother Caroline’s life.

Caroline was five years old when her father was assassinated, and she lost her only living sibling, John F. Kennedy Jr., in a plane crash years later.

“All my life I have tried to be good, to be a good student, a good sister and a good daughter, to protect my mother and never upset or anger her,” Schlossberg wrote.

‘Now I’ve added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.’

The Kennedy family also endured assassinations, drug overdoses, tragic accidents, and scandals.

The most famous death of the US dynasty was that of then-President John F. Kennedy, who was brutally shot by Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963.

On the day he was assassinated, Kennedy was in Texas with his wife Jackie and Vice President Lyndon B Johnson, preparing to give a speech on the power of the United States, but he never made it to the podium.

The president was shot three times while waving to a crowd in a convertible limousine in Dallas.

Seated to his left was the First Lady, his wife of 10 years, who hugged him and screamed for help after the shocking assassination, which was recorded in real time by TV crews and reporters.

Three shots were fired in total. The first bullet missed, the second hit Kennedy near the base of his neck and exited the front of his neck.

The third bullet entered the back of his head from the right and exited on the same side, causing the massive wound that ultimately killed him.

JFK’s younger brother, Robert, was also brutally shot to death just five years after JFK’s assassination by a man named Sirhan Sirhan, who fired two or three shots at the former president’s brother.

A generation later, the Kennedy family faced tragedy once again when the late president’s beloved son, JFK Jr., crashed his small Piper Saratoga plane into the ocean about seven miles from Martha’s Vineyard in 1999.

The 38-year-old journalist and broadcaster was attending his cousin’s wedding with his wife, fashion advertiser Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and sister Lauren Bessette.

His plan on the day of the flight, July 16, was to fly to Martha’s Vineyard with his wife, 33, and his sister-in-law, 34, to drop Lauren off before continuing with Carolyn to Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

But the trio died about seven miles from Martha’s Vineyard after they were thought to have lost their bearings over the Atlantic Ocean due to poor visibility and lack of training.
