ʻIolani Palace

More than 1,600 people arrived at ʻIolani Palace on Sunday to pay their respects to the late Abigail Kawānanakoa. The Campbell estate heiress was considered by many a princess because of her royal lineage. HPR's Kuʻuwehi Hiraishi reports.

The day marks the moment that Queen Liliʻuokalani was forcibly removed from her throne in 1893, representing the collapse of the Hawaiian monarchy. Hundreds of marchers of all ages gathered Tuesday at ʻIolani Palace under the banner of ʻOnipaʻa, or unity.

The burial of Abigail Kinoiki Kekaulike Kawānanakoa, the Campbell estate heiress that some consider the last Hawaiian princess, has taken a decade to prepare for. It started with her request to the state Board of Land and Natural Resources for permission to join her adoptive parents buried at the royal cemetery, Mauna ʻAla.

The public will be allowed to enter at 2:00 p.m. from the pedestrian gate on King St. Gifts and leis will be allowed outside of the Palace, with the exception of food or liquor.

Abigail Kawānanakoa, the so-called last Hawaiian princess whose lineage included the royal family that once ruled the islands and an Irish businessman who became one of Hawaiʻi's largest landowners, died on Sunday. She was 96.

A Royal Hawaiian Movers van pulled up to ‘Iolani Palace to receive very precious cargo on Monday. The official portrait of Hawaiʻi’s last reigning monarch, Queen Lili’uokalani, will be part of an exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. The Conversation's Catherine Cruz has more.
