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:
“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
““From those constellations turn
Your eyes, and sleep; for every man
Is living; and for peace upon
His life should rest;
This must everybody learn
For mutual happiness; that trust
Alone is best.””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
