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 went on public display Sunday in the downtown Honolulu palace that benefited from her wealth.
The palace is America’s only royal residence, where the Hawaiian monarchy dwelled but now serves mostly as a museum. Kawānanakoa was the palace’s largest single benefactor, according to her publicists, and even paid its electricity bills for many years. “Abigail will be remembered for her love of Hawaii and its people,” her wife said in the release, “and I will miss her with all of my heart.”
Kawānanakoa inherited her wealth from her great-grandfather, Irish businessman James Campbell, who made his fortune as a sugar plantation owner and one of Hawaii’s largest landowners. Three years later, a judge ruled that Kawānanakoa was unable to manage her property and business affairs because she was impaired.
