Caroline Kennedy's Quiet Life Was Much DARKER Than You Thought

Caroline Kennedy's Quiet Life Was Much DARKER Than You Thought For more than sixty years, America has told itself one story about Caroline Kennedy. The survivor. The little girl in the powder-blue coat who knelt beside her father's casket in the Capitol Rotunda and grew up to be the one Kennedy who never gave anybody a scandal. The record tells a harder story. In London in 1975, an IRA bomb went off under a car she was about to ride in, and a cancer specialist walking his dog was killed. In 1999 her brother's plane went into the sea, and she became the last one left from those White House photographs. In 2009 the author of a book called The Right to Privacy asked to be inspected, and her Senate bid collapsed after midnight. In 2025 she read a letter on camera about her own cousin. And then there is a date this family never picks by accident. November 22.
