Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of former US President John F. Kennedy, has died aged 35.
Her family announced her death in a social media post shared by the John F Kennedy Library Foundation, writing: Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.
In November, Schlossberg, a climate journalist, announced her diagnosis of an aggressive form of cancer. She said in an essay that she had been given less than a year to live.
Schlossberg was the daughter of designer Edwin Schlossberg and diplomat Caroline Kennedy, and is survived by her husband George Moran and their two children, three-year-old Edwin and one-year-old Josephine.
In an article published last month in The New Yorker titled, A Battle With My Blood, Schlossberg revealed she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in May 2024, after giving birth to her second child.
She expressed concern for her children, stating, My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn't remember me. She described her treatments and the grim prognosis she received from doctors.
Maria Shriver, a relative and journalist, honored her memory, describing Tatiana as someone who fought valiantly and made significant contributions to climate journalism. Tatiana’s published works, including “Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don't Know You Have,” helped raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire action against climate change.
With a career dedicated to environmental advocacy, Schlossberg’s legacy will continue to inspire those engaged in the fight for a sustainable future.
