JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg, 32, appears to be like heartbroken as he attends sister Tatiana’s funeral after she died of most cancers aged simply 35, with  Joe Biden seen crying

JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg looked bereft as he attended the funeral of his sister Tatiana, who died of cancer last week at the age of 35.

Schlossberg, 32, was joined by his mother Caroline Kennedy, his father Edwin Schlossberg and surviving sister Rose for the ceremony in Manhattan on Monday.

Former President Joe Biden, talk show host David Letterman and former US Secretary of State John Kerry were among the big names in attendance.

Biden, who lost his son Beau to cancer in 2015, was seen crying outside the church. 

Tatiana tragically died last Tuesday after battling Leukemia and just six weeks after she revealed her diagnosis. 

Her two children, Josephine, three, and Edwin Moran, one, and her widowed husband, George Moran, were also seen at the service. 

A heavily bearded David Letterman was seen alongside his wife, Regina Lasko, at the funeral. 

Kerry and Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, were also in attendance.

The Kennedy scion’s death was announced via social media accounts for the JFK Library Foundation on behalf of her heartbroken relatives.

‘Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,’ the post reads, signed by ‘George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory.’ 

The New York-born environmental journalist revealed in November that doctors told her she had acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024.

Writing in the New Yorker, Tatiana said she had no symptoms and was ‘one of the healthiest people I knew’ when the shock diagnosis came.

Doctors only found the disease through routine blood tests after she gave birth to her second child.

It is the latest tragedy to befall Caroline, who lost her father to an assassin’s bullet when she was five years old, her only sibling, JFK Jr, in a plane crash years later, and her mother to lymphoma in 1994, when the iconic former first lady was just 64.

Writing in the New Yorker about her diagnosis, Tatiana said that she ‘could not believe’ the doctors were talking about her when they said she would need chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.

‘I had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn’t sick. I didn’t feel sick. I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew,’ she wrote.

Tatiana said her parents and her siblings, Rose and Jack, supported her through months of grueling medical treatments.

‘[My family has] held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it. This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day,’ she wrote.

She also addressed the so-called ‘Kennedy curse’ in her essay, saying that she did not want to add ‘a new tragedy’ to her mother Caroline’s life.

‘For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry,’ Schlossberg wrote.

‘Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.’
