Not leaving her sister anything in her will, is a silly comment. Why would anyone be expected to leave anything to adult siblings, especially when those siblings have enough wealth of their own

Sometimes, token gifts are given to show affection. Always a nice touch, and it will be appreciated.

Jackie O left the kids of Lee about $500,000 each. That is facr and in her published will! Anthony was close to JFK Jr ( first cousins)! Jacqueline had paid school fees for Anthony and Tina and did things for her niece and nephew over the years ( the kids of Lee with an exiled Polish Prince)!

I think that Jackie’s intellectual curiosity saved her. Whatever her faults, she was much more grounded than Lee. I think that she loved JFK, married Ari for money and security and ended up with Maurice for companionship. She was lovely looking and the way that she handled herself as a young widow during the funeral was exemplary. She exuded class, dignity and as Ted Kennedy said “she carried the nation”. She could have died as well during the car ride. What trauma to endure, plan the funeral, meet heads of state, deal with her children’s birthdays at the same time and handle her own grief with the whole world watching. A remarkable woman in my estimation so I can easily overlook any shortcomings plus she went on to honour his legacy as president. Her subsequent work in publishing was well suited to her thirst for knowledge and love of the arts. She was a good mother and her legacy is endearing for those who witnessed what she went through.🤔

[@alexandrasymeon5893]

She was CIA and helped kill her husband. Notice she never cried. That was her second assignment and her first was to go to Cuba and kill Castro. Her third assignment was to spy on Bobby and her fourth assignment was to kill Ari but she did the next best thing which was to have his son killed.

[@kdtennis1]

[@kimciszek-kane397]

[@alexandrasymeon5893]

Jackie Kennedy married because he was her second assignment as she was CIA and her job was to spy on him. She also participated in his assassination.

I think Lee had played second fiddle to her older sister ( her entire life). Jacqueline much more bookish and intellectual than Lee!

When she married Onassis and left the US with her children, she was hated and ridiculed by many people and the press for quite a few years. She was even accused of being a traitor and selling herself to the highest bidder. Public opinion of her softened a few years later once she returned to the States with the children. The Kennedy's were glad to be rid of the financial responsibility of looking after her and the children, because of her enormous appetite for spending money. They had previously tried to rein in her spending without success. Ted Kennedy negotiated the Prenuptial Agreement between Jackie and Onassis, ensuring that the Kennedy's would no longer be financially responsible for her. Similarly Jackie again called on Ted's assistance after Onassis died to renegotiate her widow's settlement on Ari's estate. Ted attempted to start the negotiations on the day of Ari's funeral with Ari's daughter Christina while they were riding in the limo together on the way to the graveside service. Christina immediately ordered the driver to stop and got out of the limo and got into another limo with her aunts. From that day onwards, she refused to speak or deal directly with Jackie or Ted.

Yes, it was all about "control". We are talking about an era when women and children were still considered as "chattels" (property: for men to do with what they wished to do). Domestic violence was an acceptable way to keep "the little lady in line". A woman with her own income is much harder to "control" & is more capable of moving out of a bad marriage.

@@janettewebster2151 Did you know it was legal to beat your wife with a switch "no bigger than fit in a man's hand" in the 1800s?

[@Lily_Anne]

@@janettewebster2151 Not really. Beginning before the Civil War and completed by 1900, in all states a woman could own property in her own name and keep the money from the wages she earned. In 1871 the State of Alabama Court ruled that "a married woman is as much under the defense of the law as any other member of the community" and that the idea that a man had the right to chastise his wife in this way was "a relic of barbarism." I grew up in the 1950s, and I have no idea where people get this revisionist history about the '50s and '60s. Women worked if they wanted some luxurious item the husband couldn't afford (back then the average middle class man's salary could cover a home and all the necessities), stayed home if they preferred. They usually belonged to church groups, service clubs, bridge or garden clubs, or did charity work. But for the nouveau riche like the Kennedys, a working wife was embarrassing because they didn't want anyone to think the women might HAVE to earn any part of the living. It was part of trying to uphold that image of being filthy rich. I suspect that's what Jackie Kennedy ran into. It's kind of a joke, considering that Joe Kennedy Sr.'s mistresses were all working actresses.

As someone who has only one sibling, who is older, it is always hard to hear about these rivalries happening in other families too. I always thought Jackie was glamorous and all, but the fighting with her younger sibling turned me off long ago for my own personal reasons. I always felt that Jackie was a little too obsessed with money and with outdoing her sister in any way she could think of. Their parents started that rivalry, as we know. It is never good or fun to set siblings against each other, but some parents think nothing of it. My older sibling took everything when our parents passed, even though it was all supposed to be split 50/50. I ended up with nothing, and don't expect that to change any time soon. Since I am disabled slightly, I think that is how my brother justifies doing what he did. Jackie could have been kinder to her sister Lee, and vice versa. It is too bad they weren't able to repair their relationship before Jackie passed.

I would like to further add to your story that recent relevations have come to light that Jack Kennedy's marriage to Jackie was illegal because he was already married back in 1947 to another woman, a Palm Beach socialite by the name of Durie Malcolm, done on a drunken lark by the Justice of the Peace late one night. The details are covered in the books "The Dark Side of Camelot" and "The Other Mrs. Kennedy". Old Joe his father, through his Mafia contacts, had the Record of Marriage in the public records destroyed, hoping that that was the end of the matter. JFK & RFK also used their positions of influence while they were in office to prevent investigations of the marriage. However there were witnesses and people alive to certify about the existence of the marriage and event. No divorce records were ever found. Durie listed Jack on her family tree as being one of her husbands.

[@josi4251]

Jackie may be loved and admired, the truth is that she didn't really care for those who (in her eyes) weren't rich enough or held high enough social status. I doubt that she would have ever done anything charitable in her life. The two Edies, mother and daughter living in Grey Gardens, were impoverished when the family money ran out. The house was filled with trash and animal waste, so Jackie (after public shaming) purchased barrels of disinfectant. Of course she didn't pay -- Aristotle Onassis did. She did behave admirably in public, and she was apparently a very good mother. But I doubt that she cared for too many people other than that or someone who was of no use to her.

[@kdtennis1]

She loved her kids. Caroline and John got lots of her time and all her money in the end ( about 73 Million). Her family said ,Jacqueline was mad at the world after JFK was murdered! She always knew people resented her wealthy lifestyle. She came from a rare world,but needed Kennedy money. That is why she married the man who slept around on her! She married two world famous men,so she was weary of people trying to use her or get things from her. She was vain, and addicted to fame after becoming US First Lady!

My understanding about Jackie Kennedy in the White House was that she wore American-designed clothes - Oleg Cassini having created a wardrobe for her for her public functions. Yes, I think some of her clothing had echoes of Chanel, but I doubt that as First Lady she would have deemed it very politic to wear the real thing. Rather, the suits she favoured were Chanel-inspired - like the one she was wearing when JFK was assassinated. Her clothes were always impeccable, but she knew she had the American public to consider. It's possible though, that when visiting Paris she might have worn French clothes as a nod to her hosts. Wearing national brands when you are in a position of public office - or seen to be - is the norm. Of course Mrs Macron can rejoice that she's in Paris for that. Princess Diana mostly wore British designers until she separated and became her own woman. I think Kate, Princess of Wales, also wears mostly British brands. Her sister-in-law, in contrast, notably wore French or whatever other clothes she fancied when she was in her public role. I remember thinking that wasn't the usual rule the RF went by. I doubt there will ever be any woman as fabulously chic in the public eye again, as Jackie Kennedy. She knocked it out of the park.

Jackie didn't hate her sister Lee---and in their early years together, she very much cared for Lee. But after Lee divorced Stanislaw Radziwill, Jackie changed her opinion of Lee. Lee's alcoholism and inadequate parenting skills further damaged the relationship. But Lee wasn't evil and Jacqueline was no saint. I think Lee was sort of the Prince Harry to Jackie's Prince William. Jackie had the sensitivity, common sense, intelligence, education and gravitas that Lee lacked. Nevertheless, I don't think it was easy growing up in Jackie's shadow.

Our mom was a model, and people would tell me and sometimes my siblings how much i favored my mom while my mom would try to smooth things over by saying one sibling is the smart one and the other sibling is the talented one but i don't think that meant much to them since i had my photo taken by various newspaper photographers at least 6 times that they know about. Of course, it didn't help much when my siblings found out that our mom left more for me than them in her will. Still, they tried to get even because when my mom died, they never told me our mom died. Did not tell me about her will, did not tell me where she was buried or even about the funeral services. I found out when the florist out of state called the florist in my state and said, " we can't deliver the flowers to David's mother for her birthday because she died and was buried yesterday . That was 4 years and 1 probate lawyer ago And neither one has never said a word to me and probably never will.

The relationship between Jackie and Lee is completely misrepresented in this video.. It was complex, but to say "THEY NEVER GOT ALONG" is redicules… They didn’t always hate each other… Lee was with Jackie constantly after Jack’s assassination. Lee‘s son, Anthony, and Jack Junior were very close because the mothers made sure they spent lots of time together and it was Lee who dressed Jackie. It was Lee who had the exceptional taste.. Don’t get me wrong, Jackie understood fashion, but it was Lee that introduced Jackie to Valentino and Givenchy.. There were times in the two women’s lives when they were extremely close, "NEVER got along"? Read "One Special Summer"… Though I do believe the ultimate betrayals of Lee, sleeping with Jack, and Jackie stealing Aristotlw caused underlying resentment in both women (to Jackie's defense she married Aristotle becaue she needed the protection his money could provide her and especially her children.. people were dangling off her roof to take pictures of her and her children, Robert Kennedy had also been shot, this sent Jackie into a PSTD tail spin... That it hurt Lee was collateral damage and unfortunate, but necessary, end of story if there seemed to be a revenge component it was less than secondary) .. And about the end? It was mentioned in Jackie‘s will that the reason she did not leave Lee any money was that she had "provided for her in life…" I think Lee had experienced several instances of financial ruin because of her own extravagant tastes, and Jackie had helped her out and had decided in the end that that had been enough, the best thing she could do for Lee was to let Lee figure it out on her own.. And Lee Ultimately did. Also, the narrator's diction is regretable, though she got several things right... Its hard to believe even those with so many mispronunciations, and uneducated sounding speech.
