The ragtag members of the Kennedy clan turned out Monday for the funeral of Ethel Kennedy — the widow of Robert F. Kennedy, and the last link to the family’s days of “Camelot” in the White House.
Ethel, who died at age 96 following a stroke, was memorialized at a funeral service closed off to the public and press on Cape Cod Monday morning.
Somber church bells rang out under overcast skies outside Our Lady of Victory Parish in Centerville, Massacusetts — just a few miles from the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port.
Members of the Kennedy family arrived in limousines and Ethel’s casket, covered in white flowers, was carried into the church.
RFK Jr., Ethel’s second son, was spotted with his wife, actress Cheryl Hines — amid reports about trouble in their marriage over the ex-presidential candidate’s endorsement of former President Donald Trump, and claims that RFK Jr. carried on a sexting tryst with political journalist Olivia Nuzzi.
His daughter Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, who has been romantically linked to actor Ben Affleck, was also in attendance.
Caroline Kennedy, 66, a US diplomat and the last surviving child of President John F. Kennedy, was seen with her son, tabloid fixture and frequent shirtless thirst-trap poster Jack Schlossberg, 31.
Also present were Anthony Shriver — the widower of JFK’s sister and father of Maria Shriver, the ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Also there were Ethel’s son Joseph Kennedy II, and his son Joseph Kennedy III — both former Democratic congressmen.
Ethel Skakel Kennedy was the sister-in-law of JFK and widow of RFK — former senator from New York and 1968 Democratic presidential front-runner. She never remarried after his assassination in Los Angeles during the campaign.
The couple were introduced in 1945, when Ethel was 17 years old, and married in 1950. They had 11 children, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose independent 2024 White House run was cut short when he backed Trump.
