The Kennedys are the closest thing to royalty that we have in America, and it seems the
famous family will stay in the public eye through its next generation.
These days the grandchildren of John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy are striking out on their
own.
Here are the Kennedys making the biggest splash!
Rose Schlossberg
Caroline Kennedy was the only child of JFK to have her own children.
And the eldest of JFK's grandchildren, Rose Schlossberg, graduated from Harvard with a
degree in English, and got her Masters at NYU.
Outside of being known for looking a lot like her grandmother, Jackie O, Mashable reported
that Rose writes and stars in a web series called End Times Girls Club, a satirical look
at beauty and makeup tutorials…set during the apocalypse.
"1, 2, 3, Hi and welcome to End Times Girls Club"
Rose told Mashable,
"It came up as a response to seeing the way that New York responded to Hurricane Sandy.
[…] Specifically, girls in damsel in distress mode.
I thought it would be interesting to create this world where girls have to be survivalists
without compromising their cute factor."
Tatiana Schlossberg
The middle daughter of Caroline Kennedy, Tatiana Schlossberg wasted no time in launching her
career.
After graduating from Yale, Schlossberg got an internship with the New York Times, and
worked as an environmental reporter until July 2017, shortly before she got married.
"One of the defining relationships in my life is with someone I've never met.
My grandfather, president John F. Kennedy"
While she's not pursuing a career on Capitol Hill, she's not afraid to get political; As
of late 2018, she's writing a book about climate change.
Jack Schlossberg
The youngest of Caroline's brood, Jack Schlossberg made his mark at a young age.
In eighth grade he co-founded an organization to provide lighting to low income housing.
And while at Yale, People reported that Schlossberg hosted the 2014 Profile in Courage Awards.
Kennedy Library Foundation chair, Ken Feinberg, said of Jack,
"like his grandfather, he is no shrinking violet"
Jack even flexed his acting chops for his acting debut on Blue Bloods in 2018!
Joe Kennedy III
"Don't you think you're being compared to all the Kennedys that came before you"
"But you just, how the heck do you compare yourself to President Kennedy on every speech
right…you're not gonna be as good"
Robert F. Kennedy had 11 children, and many grandkids to carry on his legacy.
And Joe Kennedy III is the one most closely following in his footsteps as he was elected
to Massachusetts fourth Congressional district in 2012.
Kennedy described the pressures of politics with such a famous name, telling Boston magazine,
"People think my family pushed me into running for office.
The person who pushed me most not to run for office was my father.
He said, '[…] It is going to be an absolutely brutal experience for you.
So make sure that this is something that you yourself want to do and not some sort of invented
idea of obligation.'"
Michaela Kennedy Cuomo
Michaela Cuomo is part of two big political families; she's the granddaughter of RFK and
the daughter of New York State governor Andrew Cuomo.
And Michaela has already delved into activism, herself.
"One in five women and one in sixteen men are assaulted in college"
She's personally designed t-shirts to raise funds to promote assault awareness.
Robert Kennedy III
"Hi this is Bobby Kennedy III, we're live at Sundance at the afterparty for The Last
Mountain"
The oldest child of RFK Jr. and his first wife Emily Black, Robert Kennedy III has developed
his creative talents.
He's a writer/director/producer of the documentary ELEW: Live from Infinity about musician Eric
Lewis.
And according to Westword, he won a grant in 2016 to make a film about Hunter S.Thompson's
run for sheriff in the '70s.
Kyra Kennedy
The daughter of Mary Kennedy and RFK Jr., Kyra Kennedy has made her headlines for bad
behavior.
After being refused entry to a club, Page Six reported that the then 19-year-old allegedly
said,
"I am a Kennedy, Google me.
If you don't let me in, the governor will be calling."
Though Kyra may seem to be acting out, she's had a traumatic life.
Her mother, Mary, took her own life when Kyra was just 16.
Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy
"Hello prospective life agents, I'm here today to talk to you about my adventurous life"
Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy is another artist in the family.
Daughter of RFK Jr. and Emily Black, she's an actress and philanthropist who's appeared
on Gossip Girl and Newsroom.
But despite her New York actor's life, she insists she's not a party girl.
When the Post asked how she spent New Year's Eve back in 2014, Kick replied,
"Like a cat lady!
I fell asleep around 10:30."
