In this juicy overview, we plunge into obscure vignettes and surprising secrets of the Life of Lee Radziwill - younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and dashing society darling who ruled elite circles spanning royalty, Hollywood, Washington, and art luminaries through Eight decades.
Though she lived much in Jackie's shadow and battled privately stewing jealousy, Radziwill carved her own profound legacy as a fashion icon and sophisticated interior designer whose homes became legendary showcases of peerless style. She also conquered career ventures like acting and PR consulting with swanlike poise, earning her the admiration of writer Truman Capote - at least until a salacious tell-all melted their longtime friendship.
From growing up inprivilege on Park Avenue to friendships with the likes of Andy Warhol, Rudolf Nureyev, and sister-in-law Princess Diana, we unpeel Radziwill’s gilded yet complicated life layered with tragedy and scandals threatening her polish at key moments.
You’ll also hear surprising revelations from Radziwill’s Last Will and Testament, signed just months before her February 2019 passing at age 85. We expose heirs and amounts showing where her shockingly vast multimillion-dollar fortune landed after death - with some eyebrow-raising omissions you must hear!
Tantalizing glimpses into Radziwill’s beauty secrets, cultural influence, romantic trysts, bitter rivalries, and most dramatic crises round out this juicy glimpse into a 20th century icon. So watch now for the wild ride that was The Legendary Life of Lee Radziwill!

Her refusal to forgive her sister left Lee an impoverished human being that no amount of money could ever remedy or othetwise heal.
There’s no such thing as forever. When you die, you turned into dust and becomes nothing. I’m sorry for your crazy belief !
I worked for Lee as her personal assistant in the 1980's. My memories of her are of her classiness and kindness.
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your life story! We're very happy to know that you worked with Lee.
I delivered some Armani to her in Spring of '91. Had no idea who she was.
Thx for sharing.
I worked at IntaBoro. She didnt suffer fools. **chuckle** :D
Did Carole Radziwell inherit her husbands estate
Makes perfect sense that she would leave her estate to her daughter.
Just did a quick search, Caroline Kennedy is reportedly worth at least 250 million. I don't know why her aunt would be expected to leave her money.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Didn't she have a daughter-in-law?
Her mother left nothing to Lee
Not true....although it was not well known@@BonnieHaynes-gg4nk
@@pjchapman9419yes but she was dismayed that her son's widow joined the cast of a reality show
When I think of Lee Radziwill I still can see the Wicker Casket she was laid to rest in. Talk about Class! Even in death she remained an artist. May She Rest In Peace.
Why show a picture of Caroline when you are stating her daughterTina is the sole neir
I've always been fascinated by the Bouvier sisters and their personal and shared stories and histories. Lee lived very well, as did Jackie, they came from wealth and left this earth all the more financially richer, lived life to the fullest, the agony and the ecstacy, love and heartbreak, that's what life is all about. Lee lived a full life, 85 is a ripe old age. As for her $50 million dollar fortune, it's her decision who gets what, and if anything, or nothing at all, hence the phrase "last will and testament", Lee had the final word. She seemed elegant and refined, I'm sure the stones that were cast her way were part cattyness, part jealousy, part haters resorting to hate, but she had an interesting life, and made life interesting... :-)
Lee, having taken good care of herself through her life, I would've thought she would've lived longer than just 85 years. Even Ethel Skakel Kennedy's (1928-) younger sister, Ann Skakel McCooey (1933-2023), recently died, aged only 90, having been beaten out by her older sister.
Caroline did not need her money
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Hopefully Caroline will send that money to worthy charities.
So she left her money to her daughter what’s the big deal
Her son died around the same time as JFK Jr died. I think there was a 3 week difference. So it's only natural she left it to her daughter.
Lee's look is so fashionable and sophisticated on her small frame that she reminds me of a sixties' Barbie doll. ❤
This poor woman. I feel like she was taken advantage of by her executors. I don’t understand why she didn’t just make a simple Will and say that she leave’s everything to her daughter. 😢
There's a lot of work involved in being an Executor and it's normal to give them a % of the value of the estate.
@@deborahcurtis1385yes my sister is the executor of my aunt's estate and it actually cost her money doing her job.
Lifestyles of the rich and famous - I bet Lee wouldn't trade all the sorrows that Jackie has gone through - so much for jealousy.
Lees son died of cancer shortly after the death of JFK JR
You ain;t never lied.
Whom else would she have left it too?
Exactly.
No one.but her daughter. She owed no one else anything!
WHO else...left it TO?
What a amazing life to have lived 😊 ... Beautiful and famous and rich ! She's dead now and all that means nothing ..
Rest in Peace
Nacked we come. Nacked w e go....
She will be asked wha t have you done. To share?
She was a beautiful woman with a forward thinking brain.. ppl like her should be able to live forever
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and enjoy the have a great day!☺
I do remember Lee Radziwill wanting to help Jackie who lost Patrick and so invited her to sail in the ship that Aristotle owned. That is the only memory I have of Lee. I don't understand their competitiveness of Lee with Jackie which is disappointing since they both had so much class and charm. Lee did love her sister by helping her overcome the sad time of Jackie's son Patrick death. What was disturbing is Jack was nowhere to be found whch didn't help her over the pain of Jackie' Patrick's death.

She also had sex with JFK...so much for sisterly love.
At that time Jack was running the country - she needed to get away from her duties as First Lady.
Also, Jackie was not jealous of Lee, it was the other way around.
It's a sister thing. I hate it. We learn it from our mothers. Moms, encourage your daughters to boost one another, not compete against one another. Healthy competition is okay.
I know Leigh felt that Jackie was more beautiful than she. But I disagree.She always had such a bright smile that lit her face up. Coupled with her sense of great style, Leigh had such a presence no matter what she was dressed for. As a youngster I remember seeing magazine photos of Leigh frequently. Also of Leigh and Jackie together. One an iconic photo of them after a day at the beach. Seated on the sidewalk in an out of the way area talking. They were dressed in bathing suit cover-ups . Leigh had her hair combed straight back She was tanned and gorgeous.!
Beauty is relative, it is in the eye of the beholder.
@@estelitamartin6793 yes of course. I’m responding simply to Leigh’s lifelong (her own only) feelings of inadequacy . When compared to her older sister Jaqueline. The comment above is the opinion of but just ONE “beholder”, ME .
Apparently many “beholders” over time have felt similarly. Since the internet is full of images of both women. Jackie was hounded by photographers while taking a walk with the man that became her “partner” as such, Maurice Tempelsmen. Taking her for a short walk near home just days before she died.
In the 70s Jackie took 1 photographer to court because she couldn’t lead a normal life He took the public’s “right to behold a beautiful public figure” too far. She won !
Agree with you. But her name was Lee.
@@user-is6de8pp7k ok her name was Lee. Like part of her mothers name right? . My granddaughter is Leigh. Please forgive me . Leigh is second nature.
Why were Lee and Jackie not on speaking terms ?
I wasn't too familiar with her, but she was beautiful and really had that great sense of style!
Jealousy takes away energy best used to lift ourselves upward and forward. To be jealous of Jackie? Jackie who was married to a very charismatic man that also embarrassed her with his affairs. Jackie who lost three children. If her father was indeed favoring one child over another she should have focused her attentions on releasing the feelings he stirred within her. On her own she had more money than the average person. Both of these women were intelligent and able to reinvent themselves numerous times.
Good for her!
Carol thought she had a little coming😂😂
She told you this 😊
I remember sitting behind her at Madison Square Garden for the Rolling Stones concert she was literally going on tour with them I'm going to all the shows at that time she appeared to be quite a groupie
A beautiful apartment that must have stunk like smoke.
Smell can be removed! I w/you on cigarette smell!
Including her

Such a Karen comment!
We don’t like Karen!
She liked it
Did those two women ever eat?
How on earth did they maintain such model thin figures until their deaths?
Amazing women for fascinating reasons.
Both sisters preferred not to be photographed while chain-smoking, so common at that time. My non-famous mother smoked four packs a day for four decades, dying of emphysema a decade after she quit. Don’t smoke, kids.
Lots and lots of cigarettes.
Lee was much prettier.
Ha!.hardly
less photogenic...

They were both beautiful women.

🤮Desperate much?!
Grow the F*** up! 😂
Amen!!
I was hoping for a beach house on the California coast
NO ONE ELSE NEEDED her $$$
Looking very nice.😊
Bless her and her family.😊 She lived well and that was very good!!!😊😊
Put your money in a trust, inheritance is less tax then just adding your kids to your stuff……UA-cam research 🇺🇸😌

Her close friendship with Truman Capote would indicate to most of us that she showed poor judgement. And perhaps a shallow attachment to being considered part of the elite class. Why was there no mention of any humanitarian causes that she supported?
lee didn't have to leave caroline anything, just as her sister jacqueline (who had an estimated net worth of US$200-M when she died in 1994) didn't leave her anything. also, caroline doesn't need the money, as she is independently wealthy. abc news reported way back in 2013 that caroline had a net worth ranging from US$250-M to US$500-M. so caroline has more money than her aunt.
I always thought Jackie was more beautiful, with a fuller face & beautiful eyes.
Jackie grew up being told by her mother that she was not pretty. Jackie had an eye defect that made her eyes have that strand distance between them. They both have African ancestry on their father's side, and you can see it on Jackie's face.
@@sandraatkins2539 It was because of the big distance between her eyes that I never thought she was attractive.
One thing about Lee and Jackie, they married well. Sure, there may have been jealousy, amongust them but; they were sisters!
She left her estate to her only daughter as it should have been!
❤
She wanted Onassis but Jackie got him 😂. Interesting bios out there on them.
Goodness, are all these videos read by horrible AI voices ?
No, but whats the problem if it was read by AI? Same ppl like you were against internet back in the days.
yes
Lee was always in the shadow of her sister.
What a lovely woman. I do not believe for one minute she was financially strapped, unless she was precise of a frugal life intentionally.

Five years is plenty time to settle an estate. Those attorneys and estate executors are so damn greedy.
Black Jack and Jackie
Were Very Similar
From Looks TO Personality
No Wonder Lee felt as she did
They were both beautiful women why be jealous of Jackie when Lee had the looks justblike Jackie did and was just as smart I guess it was the way they were raised you think so??
I agree
que mujer elegante!!!!!! y que buen gusto para la decoración, para mi las dos hermanas fueron hermosas y exitosas, la vida les dio todo bellleza y riqueza,

Could we see a pic of her daughter plz.Tx.
Great suggestion, thank you! We won't promise you anything but we'll definitely look into it. Watch out for our next video!
What fortune? Her hubby the Prince had reported less than $150 k at time of his death. Sister Jackie shared some of Ari’s millions. Truth please.
She died February 15, 2019
One of Capotes muses. Capote had some part in her engajement to Prince Radzwill?
Prettier than Jackie
not from Jackie, she didn't. Jackie didn't leave her sister a penny.
Left it to her daughter
Radziwill is a Polish name and is pronounced ra-JEE-view

A wicker casket. I didn't know that was a choice. It was beautiful. It would be my choice, too, if I wasn't aiming for cremation. I have a thing for practical baskets.
Didn’t know she existed

She told me she didn’t want to buy a broad. They’re way too expensive.
Non story. Leaves her estate to her daughter. Not unusual.
Store up treasures in heaven 🙌
Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
I'm counting on it....ONE DAY VERY SOON ☝️💖🙏

Psalm 91
Lee never wanted to work
Why would she!? It’s shit, leaves you no time to actually live your life and do the things you love and actually care about. I say that if you can avoid the torture of jobs you really should.
@@selmahare❤️I totally agree. LIVE Until you can’t! 😊
She was rich since she was born..she could live her life without working. Most of us just can’t live without a job,. I said job, not to rob, or, at least, to live , I’d say... unlawfully.🙌🏻
Lee has talent compared to her sister made famous because of the names attached to her
Jackie was predatory when it came to rich men
No, she was just smarter!
agreed\@@catherinemunnerlyn
I'd say that both were
With the Onassis marriage it was the opposite. She felt she and her children were being hunted after the second assassination. "They're killing Kennedys" was the famous quote. Onassis's money could provide the privacy and security she felt they needed.
😂GOOD
Oh, my, all this build up and.. . . . . uh. . . . huh? I guess no surprises.
I will does not protect her assets. Only a living trust will protect her assets.

Warhol - for some reason, killed in a NY expensive Hospital, which had to pay a sum to his heirs.
Yes Jackie was nasty
Radziwill is an old and aristocraticl Polish family
How come we have to pay for free lifetime Healthcare for illegal aliens???
that's not how you pronounce Auchincloss - if that's how carelessly you've researched this story, I'll stop here
The AI voices can never get the names right.
I despise Ai-generated videos.
She was broke when she died except for some of her dead husband's royal European ties.
What a confused and cheap life, and she could not take anything from her money on the other side!
Tired of reading about poor, rich narcissists😂😂😂
Never heard of this woman.
American history.
Lee was 100 times more beautiful then Jackie. Jackie had far set eyes. Looked downs syn.
It’s too bad with all that classiness that she could not leave some of her money to start a foundation to provide charity or to advocate for the world’s important issues. Heaven knows one person doesn’t need $50. million dollars.
Rich peoples problems democrates as usual
Do you think the Rad do wells think a thing about anyone that isn't of Pedigree ? She trusted her money to her Own Kind; They act like one would expect of the Jackals or her inner circle. In the end nothing more than a Rich old bag with money.
