Jackie also said Kennedy Jr would not have been very imaginative as president when compared to her husband.
"You know, it shows you some people are ambitious for themselves and Bobby wasn't," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying in the interviews recorded 47 years ago.

Jackie told Schlesinger: "Eunice was pestering Jack to death to make Sargent head of HEW because she wanted to be a cabinet wife."
The interviews, titled 'Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F Kennedy' are due to be released on Wednesday to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy-era administration.
