Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was allegedly not invited to the ceremony, as OK! previously reported.

"The family made that decision intentionally," a source told Rob Shuter's Substack of Tatiana's "deeply protective" parents. "They are trying to shield the kids and manage their grief without extra public scrutiny or controversy."

"It’s all about keeping the family unit intact and protected," the insider added.

Tatiana Schlossberg publicly condemned RFK Jr.'s health policy decisions.

Tatiana was also an outspoken critic of RFK Jr., as when she publicly revealed her acute myeloid leukemia diagnosis in a November 2025 essay for The New Yorker, she took aim at his decisions.

"As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers," she wrote.

A source claimed the late journalist's 'protective' parents didn't invite Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the ceremony.

Tatiana was first diagnosed in May 2024 after giving birth to her second child.

"My doctor noticed that my blood count looked strange. A normal white-blood-cell count is around four to eleven thousand cells per microliter. Mine was a hundred and thirty-one thousand cells per microliter," she recalled in her essay. "It could just be something related to pregnancy and delivery, the doctor said, or it could be leukemia."

She underwent chemotherapy, a trial and a bone marrow transplant to try and extend her life for as long as possible.
