Early Life and Education
Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, Radziwill was the only son of Lee Bouvier (younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy) and Polish Prince Stanisław Radziwiłł. He married a former ABC colleague, Emmy Award-winning journalist Carole Ann Di Falco, on 27 August 1994 on Long Island, New York.
As a member of the Radziwills, one of Central Europe's best-known noble families, Anthony Radziwill was customarily accorded the title of Prince and styled His Serene Highness, although he never used it. He descended from King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia, King George I of Great Britain, and King John III Sobieski of Poland. The family's vast hereditary fortune was lost during World War II, and Anthony's branch of the family emigrated to England, where they became British subjects.
Anthony Radziwill was raised Roman Catholic there; he attended Choate Rosemary Hall preparatory school in Wallingford, Connecticut, graduating in 1978. In 1982, he finished his studies at Boston University, earning a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:
“Very early in our children’s lives we will be forced to realize that the “perfect” untroubled life we’d like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don’t want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“It is not every man who can be a Christian, even in a very moderate sense, whatever education you give him. It is a matter of constitution and temperament, after all. He may have to be born again many times. I have known many a man who pretended to be a Christian, in whom it was ridiculous, for he had no genius for it. It is not every man who can be a free man, even.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
