This is actually an old yet very interesting article that I read via the Garden Island newspaper months ago.
Anyway, I thought I would share it with all of you since I highly doubt anyone reads this awesome local newspaper from Kaua’i.

On May 8, 2009, the Smithsonian Magazine published an article about HRH Princess Ka’iulani of Hawai’i. Since there has always been an interest in her as well as the rest of the Hawaiian royal family I thought I would share this article with all of you in case if you have not read it before.

On November 16, 2010 I’olani Palace had a royal birthday to celebrate. His Majesty King Kalakaua’s birthday that is.
The royal guards marched in front of his amazing palace, centered in downtown Honolulu, as Prince David Kawananakoa and Princess Regina Kawananakoa looked on from the palace balcony. Even though the Hawaiian monarchy ceased to exist on January 17, 1893, thanks to the illegal overthrow, descendants of the royal Hawaiian bloodline are still respected and dearly loved by the people of Hawaii.
HM King Kalakaua, also known as the Merrie Monarch, would have been 174 years young.
If you ever have a chance to visit Oahu I highly recommend that you take a day to visit I’olani Palace. It is an amazing place.
More information, history, and news about Hawaii and its former monarchy to come soon. So stay tuned!
