Since her wedding in 1994, Carole has been a member of the Polish noble dynasty House of Radziwill.
Early life and education
Carole was raised in New York City by her parents, about whom not a lot is known because she respects their privacy; it’s believed that her father was a door-to-door salesman and that her mother was a high school teacher, while it’s known that they were both Democrats.
Because Carole hasn’t spoken of having any siblings, most of her fans believe her to be an only child.
She became interested in journalism while attending a local high school, and because Carole was amongst the top five students of her class, her parents urged her to pursue a college degree. She was quite active during those four years, as she played various sports with her peers, acted with her school’s drama club, and learnt to play the guitar.
Upon matriculating in 1981, Carole enrolled at Hunter College, from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1985; she continued her education at New York University, graduating with a Master of Business Administration degree in 1987.
Career as a journalist
Carole launched her career in 1985, when she joined the TV network ABC as an intern, in charge of working in the post-production of their news show “20/20”. After her internship had ended, she was hired to work as a production secretary on their show “Close Up”, in which she attracted the attention of Peter Charles Archibald Ewart Jennings, who hired her to work with his documentary unit, helping to produce his shows on gun control and abortion. While working for Peter, Carole also covered policy stories in India, Haiti and Cambodia.
She travelled to Iraq in 1991, and covered the SCUD Missile attacks which took place during the Gulf War.
In 2003, Carole travelled to Kandahar, Afghanistan to report on the war in the country, spending most of her time there with the American 101st Airborne Division, while her reports were featured in the ABC show “Profiles from the Frontline”.
For her story on land mines in Cambodia, Carole was presented with a Daytime Emmy Award, while she has also won two other Emmys, plus a GLAAD Award and a Peabody Award.
She quit ABC in 1999 to focus on writing her memoir “What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love”, published in 2005 and becoming a New York Times Best Seller.
Following this success, Carole signed a contract with the magazine “Glamour” and began writing a monthly column called ‘Lunch Date’; she has subsequently interviewed many celebrities and politicians for her column, including actors Alec Baldwin and Antonio Banderas, actress Rachel Weisz, and American politician and sometime lawyer Rudolph William Louis ‘Rudy’ Giuliani.

Carole married the American TV executive and movie maker Prince Anthony Stanislaw Albert Radziwill on 27 August 1994, in a large ceremony attended by many of their friends and family members; the marriage ended when Anthony died of cancer in 1999.
Carole and Anthony didn’t have children together, and it’s widely known that this was because a treatment which Anthony had undergone to fight cancer had left him infertile.
In 2011, Carole met the American singer-songwriter Russ Irwin while they were both starring in the reality show “Real Housewives of New York City”, and they went on to date for a couple of months.
She began dating chef Adam Kenworthy in 2014, and what attracted a lot of attention was the fact that Adam’s 21 year her junior; they split in 2017.
