  1. No she was not (lol).

    The President and his family is always announced as the most important family in the USA, that's why they see it as a sort of royalty without being royalty.


  2. she was our First QUEEN

  3. No.  There are no royal families born and living in the United States.  She was born to an American family.    You have to look to other countries to find true "royal families"

  4. No, John F. Kennedy´s wife was not royal. In Europe they were called the Royal family of the US.



    Jacqueline spoke French she looked like a queen.John. F. was very liked over here. I was a little girl when I heard he was dead. Most of us here in Europe wept or felt sorrow and most still remember were they were when they heard that the President of U.S.A. was dead.

  5. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born in Southampton, New York, into a world of wealth and privilege. She was the daughter of Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier III, known as "Black Jack", and his wife Janet Norton Lee. In attempts to get on the social register both sides of her family were to make exaggerations about their heritage, with Bouviers making claims they descended from the royal Fontaines in France and the Lees declaring they were part of the "Virginia Lees". She was of mostly Irish, Scottish, and English descent; her French paternal ancestry is distant, with her last French ancestor being Michel Bouvier, a Philadelphia-based cabinetmaker who was her great grandfather.

  6. No. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier came from a well-to-do family that embellished its background.Her for-bearer, Michel Bouvier emigrated from the south of France, first settling in Philadelphia,where her prospered as a furniture maker/carpenter/cabinet-maker and designer of fine furniture.He was very successful,acquiring 153,000 acres of real estate in West Virginia and the Main Line.One of his sons, Jacqueline's grand-father,John Vernou Bouvier,I,wrote a family "history" that claimed the clan was very blue-blooded.A very modest Provencal clan was turned into a family of barons and marquises.John Davis, Jackie's cousin did a more thorough investigation of the family background years later and found out his grandfather suffered from folie de grandeur stemming from the belief that the very privileged Bouviers who inhabited the finest palatial mansions,had to come from noble stock.

    Janet Lee's background was modest. Her father earned his fortune.She was quite aware of the social ladder and said that she was from "The Lees of Maryland" whcih meant that the family was Old Money,established,which they were not;in those days "new money" was looked down upon--in some ways it still is among the established members of the Social Register set.

  7. no.  she was American.  Of French descent.

  8. No she was not. Though some in American i think considered the Kennedy's to be the closet think to royalty that America had.

  9. What does your search engine say?

    My six sources do NOT mention any royal lineage.

    Suffice to say, had she been of royal blood it would have been mentioned in Wikipedia and her biography, which it was NOT.

    You asked an interesting questions and I'm sure many of us would like to know why you asked it?

    Are you writing a book about the former first lady?

  10. No Jackie Kennedy was not Royal. To be royal you must be born into, (or marry into) one of the royal families in the world, and America does not have one.

    To be a president's wife, I guess, must be the closest thing though, and she would have been tretaed in much the same way as though she was royal.

  11. No..she came from a wealthy family, though.
