JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg marries on weekend

Caroline Kennedy’s younger daughter tied the knot on Saturday in Martha’s Vineyard.

The wedding of Tatiana Schlossberg and George Moran took place at the Kennedy family’s 377-acre estate Red Gate Farm according to the The New York Times, who previously employed the bride as a reporter on climate change and the environment.

The 27-year-old granddaughter of John and Jackie Kennedy met Moran when the two attended Yale University, with her husband currently in his fourth year of medical school at Columbia Univesity.

Tatiana is the second child of Caroline, the former US ambassador to Japan, and her husband Edwin Schlossberg. She has an older sister Rose, 29, and a 24-year-old brother Jack.  

For her big day, Tatiana took a page from her late uncle John F. Kennedy Jr’s playbook it appears, with a limited number of guests attending the nuptials.

She also chose a site that carries a great deal of emotion for the family, with John Jr. dying in a plane crash alongside his wife Carolyn and her sister Lauren Besette back in 1999 while the three were traveling to the island for his cousin Rory’s wedding at the estate.

Among those who appeared to be absent were the families of Caroline’s most well-known cousins: Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Maria Shriver and Kerry Kennedy.

Robert’s daughter Kick was travelling in Spain just a few days before while Kerry’s daughter with her ex, New York governor Andrew Cuomo, was hanging out in Italy at the Gp F1 Santander D’Italia Monza.

Maria’s son Patrick Schwarzenegger did not make the trip either, choosing instead to stay back in California and participate in the Best Buddies charity bike rise that the Shriver family has held every year at this time to benefit the Special Olympics. 

Heartache: The Kennedy estate is where Rory Kenendy had planned her 1999 nuptials, which were postponed when John Jr (above with Carole Radziwill in 1997) died in a crash en route to the island

Among those who did show up were Maria Shriver, who has always been close to Caroline.

She brought along her daughter Katherine, who on Sunday posted a video of her mom as she gushed about the recent college graduate’s new children’s book about her dog Maverick.

Kerry also appeared to be on the island, having posted a photo of herself with her two younger daughters Michaela and Cara in nearby Hyannisport a few days prior, where the Kennedy compound is located. 

It is not clear if Robert Jr was in attendance or his son Conor, whose ex Taylor Swift was just on the island last week for her best friend’s wedding. 

The Kennedy estate, whose value is in the mid-nine figures, is imposisble to acess for photographers and press as there is just one road leading through the property to the main home, located on the Atlantic Ocean

Tatiana made her first big appearance on the world scene back in 2013 when she was chosen to deliver remarks at her grandfather’s memorial in England. 

‘We have come here today to honor his memory- as this monument does so well- but today is a difficult day because it is a reminder of a moment of profound sadness for my family, for America and for the world,’ said Tatiana at the start of her speech. 

‘For me, my grandfather lives in my imagination, in his words, and in the lessons he has left with us. Throughout my life, I have been able to connect with him through the study of history, both by studying his life and by studying the eras and patterns that fascinated him.

‘Of all the memorials to my grandfather, which pay tribute to his life and work all around the world, this one is very special to our family because it was during his time in England as a young man that my grandfather decided to study political leadership and pursue a life in public service.

‘As a lover of history- particularly British history- I know that my grandfather would be both proud and humbled to see that his work on behalf of peace and liberty for all people is remembered in the same place where the rule of law was made manifest nearly 800 years ago.’

The last statement was a reference to the widely held belief that the Magna Carta was signed in Runnymede.
