Anthony Radziwill is the deceased husband of Real Housewives of New York star Carole Radziwill. But he is also the nephew of John F Kennedy and the cousin of John Kennedy Jr.
Interesting considering both died in a tragic plane crash. In fact Anthony died just 3 months later on 10 August 1999. In fact, on the show, Carole’s storyline centers around the fact that she witnessed the horrific and fatal crash as the plane was taking off.
The internet is chock full of conspiracy theories on JFK and John Kennedy Jr., so if you believe those is it really so crazy to suggest that his cousin may have been murdered as well?
First of all it’s important to understand why Anthony was such a prominent figure. And you do not need to look far. Look at his lineage.
Anthony is European nobility. He descended from King Frederick William I of Prussia, King George I of Great Britain, and King John III Sobieski of Poland.
He was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, to mother socialite/actress Caroline Lee Bouvier, the younger sister of First Lady Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, and to father Polish Prince Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł. Talk about a pedigree!!
Anthony was raised Roman Catholic in Great Britain after his family emigrated there.
He was not technically in “politics” in the same way JFK Jr. was not technically in politics.
But he was actively involved in broadcasting. And in 1990, he won a Peabody for an investigation on the resurgence of Nazism in the United States. So he was involved in reporting on political issues. In fact he and Carole met in broadcasting while Anthony was working for Diane Sawyer at ABC.
And just before his death, John Kennedy Jr. was in the middle of an expose’ about who killed his father/Radziwill’s uncle. Was Anthony working with his cousin to expose the truth?
Carole wrote an autobiography What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love in 2005 about her marriage to Anthony and her devastation after his death.
The plot thickens. I will keep digging on this one.
