Caroline Kennedy: biography, children, photo

One of the most famous clans in the world can be rightfully considered the Kennedy family. To date, its head is the daughter of ex-US President - Caroline Kennedy. A woman has achieved a lot in life, and now she has great responsibilities to the country.

How it all began

The way in which Kennedy family members lived and live, many can cause a feeling of envy. They are the embodiment of the so-called American dream. This family comes from Ireland. At the start of the last century, Kennedy was able to achieve a good financial condition. Step by step, they have made progress both in public and political life.

The ancestor of the famous clan can be called the grandfather Caroline, whose name was Joseph Patrick Kennedy. He was a very versatile personality. The man greatly succeeded in politics, becoming an adviser to the head of state Franklin Roosevelt. In addition, Joseph earned a fortune by illegally selling alcohol during the "dry law", which was practiced in the 30's. He was also lucky to have a big family. Soon after he legitimized his relationship with a girl from a Boston beau monde named Rosa Fitzgerald, he became a large father. So, the number of his heirs was nine. Note that the most famous of his children were John and Robert. They both chose a political career for themselves. John became Senator of Massachusetts, and later 35 President of the country. Robert served as Attorney General of the United States.

The daughter of the leader of the country

Caroline Kennedy was born on November 27, 1957. The girl's parents - the famous president and his wife Jacqueline Bouvier, during this period were married for 4 years. Caroline did not become the first child in the family. In 1956, a first-born, a girl named Arabella, appeared in the family, but she died as a baby. It is worth noting that of all the heirs of John Kennedy , only two survived - Caroline and her brother John, who was born in 1960.

In those years when John Kennedy was in office as head of state (1961-1963), Caroline Cannady and John Cannady Jr. were under the "sights" of the media as the first and main American family. Experts argue that it was with this family that a special attitude began both to the president himself and to his relatives. This trend has remained in America to this day. This is due to the incredible charisma and versatility of the personality of John the elder, and also by the fact that for the first time in history, the press had access to the private life of the president of the country. In addition, it was important that his heirs at that time were so young. This caused still greater favor of the people towards the leader of the state.

Crucial moment

When the notorious Dallas shots occurred in 1963, Kennedy's daughter Caroline and her family moved to Manhattan. It was there that Jacqueline and her children lived until 1968. Caroline studied in the best New York elite schools, and also in an educational institution in Massachusetts. As soon as she got a secondary education, she became a Harvard student. This is not surprising, because the training in this university was the tradition of the entire famous clan. Since 1968 (at that time her mother became the wife of the famous billionaire from Greece named Aristotle Onassis), Caroline Kennedy began to travel a lot around the world, however most of the time the girl still spent in New York.

Photographic activity

Until a certain time, Caroline did not associate herself with politics. This caused surprise among others, given the scope of the Kennedy family members. After receiving a Harvard diploma, for some time the girl was fond of photography. She received the post of photojournalist and worked at the Olympics. After that she became a photo reporter in well-known American publications. The editors were very pleased to publish photographs of Caroline Kennedy on the pages of their newspapers.

Contribution to the public

In 1980, the genes nevertheless made themselves felt. Caroline threw a photo and began to try herself in the public sphere. Over the next 20 years, she was active in the life of her native city: she became the author of several articles, showed herself as a lawyer, worked as a prosecutor, created several charitable foundations.

Like the entire Kennedy family, Caroline does not change her political views, supporting the Democratic Party in all elections.

In 2008, Caroline participated in the election campaign of Barack Obama. Soon she tried to build and her political career. To do this, she asked the governor of the state to present her as a possible candidate for a position in the Senate, which was emptied in connection with the departure of Hillary Clinton. But this did not give a positive result - the governor approved another person for this post.

This political career Caroline has not ended. In 2013 she was appointed ambassador of the USA in Japan.

Caroline Kennedy and her children

To date, the daughter of the famous president is married. She married Edwin Schlossberg back in 1986. The couple have three children: two daughters and a son. The daughter of Rose was born in 1988, Tatiana in 1990, and the only son named John was born in 1993. It is not yet known which career children Caroline will choose. Perhaps they will follow in the footsteps of their ancestors and stop their choice on politics. In the meantime, they try themselves in a variety of spheres.
