JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg dies aged 35

It comes just a month after revealing her terminal cancer diagnosis

Her death comes just a month after she shared a terminal cancer diagnosis in an essay which criticised current US health secretary and relative Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The news of her death was shared in an Instagram post yesterday (Tuesday 30 December) by the JFK Library Foundation.

The post read: "Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.

The post was signed off from her husband George, her two children Edwin and Josephine as well as her parents and siblings.

Both her siblings, Jack and Rose, had donated stem cells for her cancer treatment.

Schlossberg announced the news of her diagnosis last month in an essay she had written for The New Yorker.

In the essay, she criticised her first cousin once removed, RFK Jr, who is the current US health secretary.

She wrote: "As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers."

After the birth of her second child, a doctor noticed her high white blood cell count, which turned out to be acute myeloid leukaemia with a rare mutation.

She would undergo multiple rounds of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants as well as participated in clinical trials.
