Carolyn Bessette-Kennedys bestie Carole Radziwill compares Meghan to Carolyn

The former “RHONY” star tweeted that Markle marrying into the royal family in 2018 sadly reminded her of Bessette becoming a Kennedy by marrying John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1996.

“Wow. I love how people say Meghan knew what she was getting into…people said the same thing about Carolyn Bessette when she married into the Kennedy family. You could never know. Meghan said it right the perception is nothing like the reality.”

Welp, that and leaks to Cosmo, surely Megs will be crowned Queen by summer. No one likes a victim mentality.

Meghan and her PR push are a bit scary.

Carolyn B was also off her rocker (as was her husband) and volatile and she and JFK Jr were headed for divorce. So yeah I see the similarities.

Carole Radziwell has dined out for decades now on just briefly knowing this woman.

@r2, ... and she doesn't know Markle at all. I would take her comparison with a grain of salt

Meghan hasn’t pushed her PR team to do anything. No one has any idea of what is going through her head, other than what the interviews she has done have quoted her...

See what’s between the lines? Wow, white space.

Plus, she met Meghan...I’m going out on a limb and say that she’s gotten closer to Meghan than you lot.

You can't compare The Kennedy and British Royal families.

One became famous in the latter part of the 20th Century and the other has existed for over a thousand years.

It's like marrying in to any other wealthy family (but with more press)--the money and the houses and the free security and the free everything come with rules.

She should have bagged an ugly tech entrepreneur if she wanted the cash and to be left alone.

The LAST think she wants is to be "left alone" come ON.

There are some similarities...Carolyn was not comfortable with the paparazzi all over her, comparing her to her late MIL-with Meghan, the UK tabloids criticizing her harshly, more so than Hollywood ever had. Comparing her to Diana.

In hindsight, both women should have thought more carefully about marrying into such high profile and wealthy families. One would be much happier; the other might still be alive.

I’m confused by anyone genuinely thinking MM isn’t pushing her PR team. She’s had multiple friends speak on her behalf since the interview, and her PR team has contacted the BBC to tell them how they’re allowed to cover the story.

She’s also had many speak against her. Those speaking against her are causing her friends to defend her r11

Says who r11? Who said that her PR team is doing this? How do you know that?

NOTHING she does is consistent with someone who WANTS privacy. They created this and are fanning the embers as people get bored.

R2 “Volatile” is a good keyword.

R13 her friend who spoke to the press said she did so with Meghans blessing. The BBC themselves said they were given the directive by Meghans PR team. Are these genuine questions?

Wasn’t it said Di might have been a lil’ jelly of CBK? Like, questioned her great beauty or something? They were about the same age and I could see Diana being competitive with a stylish new “it” girl, especially one that had bagged a hot husband.

Whoever marries one of 'the spares' gets shit from the UK tabloids.

It's there to see with Lord Snowdon, Sarah, Duchess of York and even Capt Mark Phillips.

LOL, might not be smart to invite comparison... CBK was truly a trendsetter. Just as cuntish, though.

CBK didn’t seem as obsessed with being seen as soft and delicate as Meghan though. It was before social media but there were still pictures of the couple fighting angrily in public.

Carole’s reason for doing this is to keep her name out there related to JFK/CBK but also because Bethenny stupidly opined on the situation. Carole still hates Bethenny, after their affair ended badly.

I doubt there is anything genuine about them, R16. Of course, DL and other big boards are targets for her PR, they have been here for years.

Helpless, ever-victimized Meghan lived with Harry for a year. She saw everything. All Meghan wants is drama in which she is the center of destructive chaos. Has this nasty bitch shown any redeeming qualities?

R5 No PR push? It never stops. There's nowhere to hide. She is EVERYWHERE and getting paid hundreds of millions for what exactly? Existing? Being a professional victim? And that is off-putting in and of itself.

R16 which friend? These are real genuine questions.

Haven't seen any so far, R22. Bet Trevor and the husband of the annuled 1st marriage might say that she eventually moves on?

"Harry, we need to fly NOW! Fuck the weather--We have to be there NOW!"

Who is Carole Radziwill? I Googled her and still don’t understand why she’s relevant.

To be fair, I think Harry is a better pilot.

I miss Junior. Whatever else he was or did, he wore his fame lightly and seemed to keep a sense of humor. Harry could learn that much from his example.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s bestie Carole Radziwill compares Meghan to Carolyn... in desperate attempt to stay relevant

FIXED IT

Inspirational! William should buy Harry an airplane.

He could start an airline - Tiara Express.

There isn't a SINGLE FUCKING PHOTO of Carole with her supposed BFF FOREVAH! Not a single one. That is really weird, and Carole's feet were never put close to the fire when someone would ask why that was the case. She just waved it off and got away with it.

I despise B, but I think Carole is a lying sack of shit in her own right.

Now that MM and Harry are worth a not all that small fortune (if the Netflix deal, and other ventures are indeed legit re: the numbers being bandied about) my guess is they will be making lots of new "friends" that they never necessarily asked for in the first place.

I’m sure they met, but I think she way over exaggerated their relationship. She wrote the book after anyone who could dispute anything was dead.

Her sister in law wrote the book, allegedly.

[quote] CBK was truly a trendsetter

What trends did she set?

Not a one that I can think of r37.

Coke habit? Bleach blonde? Red lipstick? Wear lots of black? Fuck JFK Jr?, Dig for gold? Be a cunt?

She perfected that mid-90s minimalist look, aka “I’m so beautiful I don’t need frills or adornment.” Not many can pull that off, though. She did. I think she was quite lovely. Why she was so petrified of cameras I never really understood. It went with the gig.

MM is an actress. That means something in her personality requires attention. This was always going to be the outcome I wouldn't be surprised if it crossed her mind when she first met harry

Radziwill says she and Carolyn were BFFs., yet I ave never seen a photo of the two of them together.

I think r33 is in full agreement with you r41

According to Michael Bergin, he and Carolyn remained fuck buddies despite her marriage to JFK, Jr.

Shut up Carol you are not relevant.

I would believe Michael Bergin was fucking JFK jr more than Carolyn.

[quote] She perfected that mid-90s minimalist look, aka “I’m so beautiful I don’t need frills or adornment.” Not many can pull that off, though. She did.

No, she didn't. You're full of shit

R46 Oh? Please explain, in detail.

Bitches want to be relevant.

R33 reportedly they’re getting $2M a year but even that will be dependent on what kind of content they put out. Considering they want to make environmental documentaries and feminist cartoons, it’s hard to picture them being big money makers

It is an apt comparison, especially considering the fact that they both married royalty.

[quote] Considering they want to make environmental documentaries and feminist cartoons

There is a big future in feminist cartoons

Is Meghan going to, in the end, nag and nag and nag her husband to death too? I believe so.

Carole Radziwill is trash. I can't imagine what Anthony saw in her.

Meghan and her team are 100% directing every response from every current and former friend. I'm interested to hear from Doria's side of the family. No one with a brain believes they are being quiet out of a sense of decorum. Does she even know her relatives on her mom's side?

Yes, you could never have guessed what it would be like to live with the Kennedys. I mean, there were probably only 47,000 books available during Carolyn's lifetime about Joe and Rose Kennedy, the way they raised their children and with what results.

The fact that your husband's mother fled to Greece as soon as she was able could give you a clue.

[quote] Carole Radziwell has dined out for decades now on just briefly knowing this woman.

That and the fortune left to her by Prince Anthony.

[quote] CBK didn’t seem as obsessed with being seen as soft and delicate as Meghan though. It was before social media but there were still pictures of the couple fighting angrily in public.

Meghan does not present herself as soft or delicate. She is assertive and defiant.

At least half of Datalounge has daily suicidal ideations but I wouldn't call none of you hateful, foul-tempered, loudmouth bitches "soft" or "delicate."

R53, Carole was an award-winning ABC journalist and producer when she and Anthony Radziwiłł wed in 1994. I don't know why she sullied her reputation by joining the Real Housewives franchise and getting herself embroiled in all those petty squabbles. Anthony must be rolling in his grave.

R58 Being on Real Housewives gave her a platform and name recognition for the books she was writing and selling. I haven't kept track, but I think she's put out 2 or 3. It was a good marketing move. If might have led to bigger things, as it did for Bethenny, but then it didn't.

R58 she wanted to find some young ass.

Okay, so she’s not relevant, she’s just attention seeking, got it.

Everyone knows that Carolyn was a cokehead bitch, and Meghan is, at the very least, a bitch....so yeah, there's a lot of overlap there.
