| Info | Kathleen Agnes Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington (née Kennedy), also known as "Kick" Kennedy, was an American socialite. She was the second daughter of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. and Rose Kennedy as well as a sister of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy and the wife of the Marquess of Hartington, heir apparent to the 10th Duke of Devonshire.
When her father was serving as United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Kathleen made many friends in London and was the "debutante of 1938." Working with the Red Cross, she began a romantic relationship with Lord Hartington, whom she married in May 1944. He was killed on active service in Belgium only four months later. Kathleen died in a plane crash in 1948, flying to the south of France while on vacation with her new partner, the 8th Earl Fitzwilliam.
