14. Kathleen Kennedy

Kathleen Kennedy was fourth in the Kennedy family. Kathleen was athletic and could often be found playing football with her brothers. Her positive outlook on life often attracted friends and suitors. Kathleen moved to England when her father was appointed an Ambassador. After returning to the States many years later, she always looked for a way back to England. Kathleen came across a position with the Red Cross, as a serviceman. After that, she lived a royal life, as she married British royal William Cavendish, Marquess at the age of 24. Their love was cut short when William died of a sniper shot during World War II.

Years later, Kathleen found another British royal to fill the void in her heart, Peter Fitzwilliam. Although Peter’s divorce was not final, Kathleen knew she wanted to marry him. As tradition goes, the two wanted the blessing of Kathleen’s father. On their way to meet Joseph Kennedy, the two made a quick stop to vacation in the French Riviera. However, their story ended there, as the plane they were traveling in crashed before they arrived at their destination. Unfortunately, not one person survived the plane crash. Kathleen was 28 years old when she passed away.
