Did she dabble in art?

Did Lee Radziwill dabble in art? We have a painting that is signed "Bouvier" and was given to us by a woman who travelled in the Bouvier socialite circles. It is said to be by Jackie Bouvier's sister, but Caroline Lee Bouvier is not listed as an artist. 68.214.241.128 (talk) 16:09, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Annulment = Catholic Divorce?

It seems like those annulments came rather conveniently. The Catholic Church seems to bend over backwards to accommodate the Kennedy family. Ted Kennedy supports abortion, but that does not fase the Archbishop of Boston, who has yet to excommunicate Teddy publicly. John Paul Parks (talk) 04:27, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Bad Writing

This page is poorly written, but I haven't edited a real page yet. Maybe someone with more experience can help. Sarah511 (talk) 04:57, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Roman Catholic

Is it really necessary to say "Roman Catholic" throughout? Surely, having specified RC at the beginning of the article, it is enough to say "Catholic" thereafter? The article reads as though it was written by Ian Paisley. 86.44.202.152 (talk) 08:31, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Picture?

I think a picture would be appropriate. 109.145.59.194 (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Rolling Stones

The Stones never did take Radziwill seriously, nor they did Capote. They barely tolerated these soialites near them. As can be read in Greenfield, Robert: "S.T.P.: A Journey Through America With The Rolling Stones" 1972 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.131.70.141 (talk) 16:39, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

My mother saw Radziwill and Capote walking hand-in-hand down Bourbon Street in New Orleans around this era. 76.187.238.122 (talk) 03:05, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

This is brilliant. Especially as Mr Capote is known for being thoroughly homosexual. Maybe this is why neither Bouvier-Radiwill nor your mother succeeded in getting laid by him? Just by the way, since the divorce from Radziwill, she is not a "princess" anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4905:A135:F586:EE68:E7D4:95B5 (talk) 20:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Style

Should she be styled as a princess? This New York Times article refers to her as such, down to quotes from random acquaintances addressing her as "Madame la Princesse". — PinkAmpers&^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 16:59, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Grey Gardens Reference

I think this section would be removed. Considering the life this woman lived, the actions involved with Grey Gardens, now 40 years ago, wouldn't merit a footnote in her biography.

And, in the context of Grey Gardens, she is barely mentioned at all. Jackie Onassis comes up but I don't recall Radziwill being mentioned by name. People who have researched the background of the documentary will know that she introduced the Mayles to the Beales but that isn't common knowledge.

I'll check back later to see if there is a response and unless there is a sizable protest, that short paragraph will go. 69.125.134.86 (talk) 10:01, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Name of niece

Caroline Kennedy is NOT named for Lee Radziwill. BOTH women were named for an ancestor, Caroline Ewing Maslin. Kcents (talk) 02:30, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Do you have a source to back that claim? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 01:06, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Caroline Maslin, who married Robert Ewing, was specifically the great-great-grandmother of Lee (Bouvier) Radziwill and the great-great-great-grandmother of Caroline Bouvier (Kennedy) Schlossberg. Still, a reference is needed to prove they are her namesakes. Given the number of Carolines in the family (e.g., Caroline (Maslin) Ewing's daughter was Caroline Maslin (Ewing) Bouvier, and she had a daughter Caroline Bouvier who died in infancy), it may not be so straightforward. - Nunh-huh 02:01, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

It occurs to me that the article at present contains the unsupported assertion "Her niece, Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, was named after her." which is also in need of a reliable source. So I'm going to remove it until a source is provided. It's probably wrong and doesn't seem very important in any case. It's certainly not lede material! - Nunh-huh 02:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Radziwiłł vs. Radziwill

It's a little strange to use the Polish spelling, which she never used, as the title of her article. - Nunh-huh 00:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

I agree. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 23:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Especially when it has the article saying, as a result, blatantly false things, like "They divorced shortly before his death, and she returned to using Radziwiłł, her children's name." She didn't "return" to Radziwiłł, she returned to Radziwill. And her children's name wasn't Radziwiłł, it was Radziwill. - Nunh-huh 00:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
