In order to welcome the Duke of Devonshire, the Kennedy family held a very grand reception, and almost all family members attended the banquet.
This includes Kathleen Kennedy, whose father is Robert Kennedy, who once served as Attorney General of the United States. She has also entered politics. She previously served as Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, the first female Lieutenant Governor of the state, and ran for Governor of Maryland this year.
It's just a pity that Kathleen Kennedy did not win the election in the first half of this year.
It can be said that even though the family has encountered frequent accidents, the Kennedy family is still prosperous. The reason is that they are too fertile.
Just like President Kennedy of the previous generation, he had nine brothers and sisters; and his younger brother Robert Kennedy was even more amazing - Katharine Kennedy, who is now 50 years old, has 11 brothers and sisters...
And the Kennedy family has a tradition, which is "We can still be friends after breaking up"...
This means that all the ex-partners of the Kennedy family, including those with whom they had actual relationships, can continue to be around them after they get married. Some of these "ex-partners" are even treated as relatives by the family.
This also resulted in a very large number of people attending this year's welcome banquet. Even though Barron had an excellent memory, it took him a lot of effort to sort out the relationships between these people.
"Hello, Terminator...Haha, Mr. Schwarzenegger, I've seen many of your movies..."
Here, Barron also met Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is probably the most well-known member of the Kennedy family among the public, and his wife Maria Shriver.
As the son-in-law of the Kennedy family, Schwarzenegger also came to the banquet. The mother of his wife Maria is the sister of President Kennedy.
"Hello, Your Highness, it's an honor to meet you."
Barron chatted with Schwarzenegger for a few more minutes. It seems that this "bodybuilder" will start running for governor of California next year. I wonder if he has already thought about entering politics.
You know, Hollywood is in California, and Barron's industry also involves film and television entertainment, so he can get familiar with the future governor in advance.
"Thank you for your hospitality today, Mr. Kennedy."
"I am very happy to meet you, Your Highness. Our family has many connections with the Devonshire family. I hope you will have a good time in America this time."
The person who could be directly addressed as Mr. Kennedy by Barron was naturally the evergreen in the Kennedy family's political arena and the Kennedy family's greatest reliance at the time - Edward Kennedy.
Although he was not as successful as his two elder brothers in politics, one was the president and the other was the Minister of Justice...
In fact, he had had a chance. In 1969, Edward Kennedy was elected as the deputy leader of the Senate Democratic Party and had the potential to become a popular figure in the 1972 presidential election.
But an unexpected incident in July 1969 ended his career.
One night he was driving back to his hotel with a beautiful blonde named Miss Kopekne, and while crossing a small bridge the car plunged into the river.
Edward escaped, but the girl died in the car, and Edward did not report the case in time.
This incident damaged the reputation of the Kennedy family and forced Edward to give up his campaign for president.
It has to be said that when it comes to romance, the Kennedy family is really a family of one...
At this time, Edward Kennedy held multiple positions in the Senate and still had extremely strong connections, which was what Barron needed for his investment in the United States.
It can be said that by accepting the invitation from the Kennedy family this time, the other party gained some prestige - after all, after the accidental plane crash of John F. Kennedy Jr., the family's most politically promising member three years ago, the younger generation of family members, including Kathleen Kennedy, who lost the gubernatorial election this time, were not politically competent enough.
At this time, establishing contact with the Duke of Devonshire would help enhance their family's reputation among young people.
After all, Barron is not only young and handsome, but also a duke. In addition, the "Downton Abbey" he participated in the creation of is also quite popular in the United States. He is still very well-known among young people, especially young women.
Through the cooperation between the two parties, Barron can get the support of the Kennedy family's connections, while the other party can get the popularity provided by Barron, which can be said to be a win-win situation for both parties.
When welcoming Barron this year, the Kennedy family put on a grand display, with family members gathering in Boston. At this time, related reports have already appeared on the Internet and TV programs.
"Mr. Kennedy, I also hope to have the opportunity to entertain you at Chatsworth House with the most solemn British etiquette."
"Then I am very much looking forward to it, Your Highness. Speaking of which, I haven't visited my sister for a long time. Every time I think of my deceased relatives, I can't help but feel sad."
He was referring to Katherine Kennedy Cavendish, who was buried in the Devonshire Family Cemetery.
They stayed in Boston for two days. Under the hospitality of the Kennedy family members, Barron took Bonnie on a tour around Boston. Then they went to New York to meet Chris who was there.
After arriving in America, the Viscountess did not go to Boston with them, but went directly to New York to visit the Sinclair family.
The Sinclair family has a large estate on Long Island, New York, where Jenny Booth and John Smith currently live.
This is also the first time that Barron has come to New York in this life. In his previous life, when he came to New York, he also passed by the luxurious manors in the Long Island area. However, at that time, these were out of reach for him. Many manors here are priced at tens of millions of dollars, and there are even super luxury homes worth hundreds of millions.
But now, facing all this, Barron can remain calm. After all, all the mansions he saw are ones he can buy if he wants them.
And in comparison, how can these so-called "mansions" compare in luxury to Chatsworth House, which has a history of more than 300 years and has been carefully renovated and designed by successive owners?
"How are you guys doing in Boston?"
After meeting, Bonnie and Chris gave each other a warm hug. It can be seen that the relationship between the two sisters is indeed very good.
"Not bad, although I'm still a little uncomfortable with the American style..."
Hearing her words, Jenny Booth smiled and said:
"I understand you, Bonnie. I was like this when I first came to New York. Compared to us British people, the young people here in America seem a little too lively..."
But after saying this, she turned her head and glanced at John Smith beside her, shrugged, and said,
"Of course, this does not include John. When I first met him, I thought he was a nerd."
"Baby, I feel a little sad when you say that..."
"Don't you know? This is also why I like you."
Jenny's voice fell, and Barron, Bonnie and Chris looked at each other...
Well, this dog food was a bit unexpected.
