Royal Family of Hawai'i

[LadyGabrielle]

Well since no one could answer the question...his name is Prince Darrick Lane Baker of Hawaii. His lineage is quite impressive. His 6th generation grandfather was King Kekaulike of Maui. Another grandparent was Queen Kamakahelei of Kauai. His lineage is connected to the last Monarchs before the overthrow of The kingdom. So you see..the Hawaiian royals are many and the genealogy is intricate and extensive. In fact all the royals are related to each other since the Kings had so many wives. I find it amusing that someone from one of the lines will claim they are pretenders to the throne when in reality there are numerous family members that can claim that. Anyway...I thought you all might like to see a new face among the HRF.

I will refrain from commenting on this marriage. Only because it's a joke and so is she.

How is the marriage of two people who have been together for 21 years a joke?

[LadyGabrielle]

I am entitled to my opinion. I don't agree with it.

This is definitely a comment.

Think the US government is ever going to give the former royal family any sort of recognition like the Federal Republic of Germany? I mean I find it ridiculous that we aren't really giving them any sort of status like the Native American chiefdoms, there are still plenty of Native Hawaiians who respect the former monarchy.

It will never happen. The U.S. government wants to put us in the same category of Native Americans which we are not. Then they talked about putting all Hawaiians on Kaho'olawe which is a deserted island full of unexploded ordinances and hardly any vegetation left. It was used for bombing practice way back when. I doubt very much the U.S. will ever recognize Hawaii as a soverign nation, at least not in our time.

[Frozen Royalist]

I mean an autonomous community like the Native American settlements. I've never once thought of the Native Hawaiians, along with the Native Alaskans, to be like Native Americans.

I know it is an unlikely possibility but it is still wishful thinking to me.

Prince Edward David Kawananakoa died 20 May 1953 of a heart attack, but some genealogical sources state that his third wife, Cecilia Kuliaikanuuowaialeale Parker-Waipa, died on 20 May 1953. I can find nothing to support the suggestion that she died on the same day as her husband and was wondering if anyone on this site might know the actual date of death of the Prince's third wife? Thanks.

Sam Sanchez is alive and well, living in Memphis, Tennessee.
He and Regina divorced in 1997 shortly after her father's death. He remarried in 2004 to Delaine Thornton and moved to Tennessee.
He attended Regina's memorial service in January 2017.

Yes, this child was put up for adoption. Long story. Last known to be living in Texas.

[EssexRoyal]

Are you able to give a little more information about the child who was given up for adoption (are we talking about a child of Regina?). Thanks

[jannyintn]

Just an outline/third hand story. Matched what you posted though.
Male child born to young Regina 1966ish? unhappily/unwillingly? given up for adoption later searched for and found living in Texas.

[EssexRoyal]

Thanks for explaining. It is good they were eventually reunited. I wonder if the rest of Regina’s family acknowledge the chap as a member of the family.

My Great Grandmother, Rose Campbell Bourke, was a Royal Court Dancer for the Palace as a young girl. I am a milliner and accessories designer for Royal and formal occasions. I am very interested in Hawaiian Royal Geneology and keeping of records for this forgotten segment of history. Unlike European Royal Records, Hawaiian historical documentation has not been easy to obtain. My best answer from Iolani Palace staff was that the Hawaiians did not rely on a record-based written history but held an 'oral, storytelling tradition'. I can infer that either records were destroyed intentionally, or that there was little effort in obtaining a basic cultural template of this unique time and place due to an emphasis on European acquisition of land and people. I am not interested any more in apologies or additional stories of the final days of the Hawaiian Royal Monarchy. I am much more interested in anyone who knows what the day to day traditions and cultural exchanges of Aloha were inside the Palace. It is important to stay elevated in heart and mind. This keeps us all truly Regal in every sense of the word. Please join in the conversation and exploration of this topic! Leilani Anderson

No she died on February 23, 1981. Here are links to her obituaries from 1981. She remarried to Walter A. Schoening.

Kavebear...thanks for the picture but it is so big that it has blown the page and now all the type is so small I need a magnifier to read and the picture is huge.. Maybe you can resize the picture or a mod can? All the other forums are normal size print. Thanks.

[EssexRoyal]

Thank you for the correct date of death and the picture - much appreciated.
