John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy are back in the news after the worldwide popularity of Ryan Murphy’s hit show Love Story. The renewed attention has also highlighted the couple’s ties to the Royal Family—and Princess Diana’s death is said to have greatly “rattled” Carolyn. In the book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, author Elizabeth Beller shared that Carolyn was so impacted by Diana’s tragic 1997 car crash that she implored her husband to reach out to Prince William and Prince Harry.
In the book, Beller wrote (via Hello!) that Bessette-Kennedy “tried to get John to call Princes William and Harry to give his condolences when it came out that Diana had hoped for her sons to emulate John's modesty in the face of media obsession.”
