J. RANDY on JAMIE AUCHINCLOSS – Jackie’s half-brother!
Most people don’t know that Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill have a half-brother, Jamie Auchincloss. He, Jackie and Lee had the same mom, Janet Auchincloss. Jamie was a primary source for my latest book, “Jackie, Janet & Lee – the Secret Lives of Janet Auchincloss and her daughters, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill.”
Without Jamie, I’m not sure how I would have been able to write this book. He’s never written his memoir and was a first-hand witness to so much history. He knew JFK well, was at his inauguration … at his funeral, and has so many incredible memories not only of the President, but also his mom, Janet, and his half-sisters, Jackie and Lee. I’m very honored that he would allow me access not only to his wealth of anecdotes, but also to many of his private photographs seen in my book for the first time. I was very honored to have his trust for my book, which means so much to me. I hope Jamie is as happy with the result as I am.

In 2000, he wrote “Jackie, Ethel and Joan: The Women of Camelot,” which became a two-part series on CBS-TV in 2001. He wrote “After Camelot” in 2012 and, six years later, he now presents “Jackie, Janet and Lee: The Secrets of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Janet Auchincloss and Lee Radziwill.”
Spoiler alert: He adores Jackie and abhors Lee. The big reveal, according to his publisher’s press release, is that (supposedly) their mother, Janet Auchincloss, performed do-it-yourself artificial insemination in order to get pregnant twice after she divorced their father and married her second husband, Hugh D. Auchincloss. Janet was 37; Hugh was 58, and had had three children by two previous wives. Yet we’re asked to believe that Mr. Auchincloss was incapable of impregnating Mrs. Au
