Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill's sibling rivalry has been a subject of public fascination for years, with their dynamic relationship continuing to capture attention. Novelist Truman Capote, known for his admiration of elegant and affluent women, held Radziwill in high regard. Initially friends with both sisters, Capote eventually sided with Radziwill, leading to tensions between the siblings.
As Kennedy Onassis's status elevated following her marriage to President John F. Kennedy, the competition between the sisters intensified. Radziwill's jealousy towards her sister became a significant point of contention, exacerbated by Capote's involvement. The publication of Capote's work-in-progress, Answered Prayers, in the mid-1970s exposed intimate details and secrets of the sisters, resulting in Capote's exclusion from their social circle.
