Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of former US president John F Kennedy, has died after revealing in November she had been diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia. She was 35.
Schlossberg’s death was announced by her family in a social media post from the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum late on Tuesday (US time).
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the family wrote.
Schlossberg was a climate change and environmental journalist and the second child of JFK’s daughter, former US ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy, and the designer-artist Edwin Schlossberg.
In a New Yorker essay published in November, Schlossberg said she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia with a rare mutation, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
At the time, she also criticised her cousin Robert F Kennedy jr, the US health secretary, for being a vaccine sceptic and cutting funding for cancer research.
