Princess Ka‘iulani
1875-1899
When Queen Lili‘uokalani suggested suitors, Princess Ka‘iulani said she would rather marry for love unless it was necessary to protect the monarchy. She was sent to school in England.
But at age seventeen came news of the Queen’s overthrow. Despite her discomfort with politics and the bigoted American press, Ka‘iulani toured the U.S. to protest plans to annex Hawai‘i, even meeting with President Grover Cleveland. As news seemed to improve she returned to finish school, going home in 1897 and becoming engaged. But annexation came as her health failed, and Princess Ka‘iulani died heartbroken in 1899.
