Prince David Kawananakoa
Prince David Kawananakoa
Born: February 19, 1868
Died: June 2, 1908
Full Name: David Laamea Kahalepouli Kawananakoa Piikoi
He was declared heir to the throne of the Kingdom
of Hawaii when Princess Victoria Kaiulani, to whom
he as engaged, died.
He was the newphew of Queen Julia Kapiolani,
who was married to King David Kalakaua.
In 1902 he married Abigail Wahiikaahuula
Campbell, who assumed the title of princess.
Prince David acknowledged paternity of a son, Prince
Edward Kawananakoa, and a daughter,
Princess Lydia, who was the mother of Princess Abigail Kinoike
Kekaulike Kawananakoa.
He declared that the oldest child of his wife,
Abigail Kapiolani Kawananakoa, was not his,
and he forced his wife's mother to adopt the child.
But many people consider Abigail to have been
legitimate, and therefore that she continues
the true line of succession, which is now
headed by her grandson, Prince Quentin Kawananakoa.
