Members of the public were allowed to line up to view her casket at ʻIolani Palace, America’s only royal residence.
HONOLULU — The casket bearing the 96-year-old heiress long considered the last Hawaiian princess is set to go on public display Sunday in the downtown Honolulu palace that benefited from her wealth.
Members of the public were allowed to line up to view her casket and weren’t required to wear the shoe coverings that palace visitors normally have to wear as a preservation precaution. A carpet for mourners to walk on was temporarily installed for the viewing.. She died “peacefully” with her wife, Veronica Gail Kawānanakoa, 70, at her side, according to a news release.
In 1895, an unsuccessful attempt by Hawaiian royalists to restore Queen Liliʻuokalani to power resulted in her arrest. She was put on trial before a military tribunal in her own throne room. After she was convicted, she was imprisoned in an upstairs bedroom of the palace for nearly eight months. After the prince died, his widow adopted their grandchild, Abigail, which strengthened her claim to a princess title.In 2017, a court battle began over control of her trust after she suffered a stroke. In 2018, Kawānanakoa attempted to amend her trust to ensure that her wife would receive $40 million and all her personal property, according to court records.
The uproar led to her ouster as president of Friends of ʻIolani Palace, a position she held for more than 25 years.
