Victoria Kūhiō Kinoiki Kekaulike II (1843–1884) was a Princess of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Her name also sometimes spelled as Kinoike Kekaulike has been written as Mary Kinoiki Kekaulike in many sources.[1][2][3]: 204 Her name Kekaulike translates as "the equality" in Hawaiian.[4]
She was born on May 12, 1843, the youngest daughter of High Chief Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole of Hilo, and Princess Kinoiki Kekaulike from Kauaʻi island. From her father she was cousin of the Kamehameha Dynasty being in the line of Keawe and she was a cousin of Kalākaua through their common ancestor the High Chiefess Ululani of Hilo. Her mother was the stepdaughter of the Queen Regent Kaʻahumanu and the daughter of Kaumualiʻi, the last king of Kauaʻi before he agreed to be a vassal to Kamehameha I in 1810. She was the youngest sister of Kapiʻolani (later Queen Consort of Kalākaua) and Princess Poʻomaikelani. She took the name Kekaulike from her mother and great-great grandfather, King Kekaulike of Maui.
Her sister's husband became the king of Hawaii in 1874, so she was granted the title of Princess and style of Her Royal Highness, at 1883 at Kalākaua's coronation. In the coronation ceremony, she had the honor of carrying Kalākaua's royal feather cape,[6] passed down from the days of Kamehameha I. She handed the royal mantle to Chief Justice Albert Francis Judd who placed it on the king's shoulders "as of the Ensign of Knowledge and Wisdom".[7] She served from 1880 to 1884 as Governor of Hawaii Island, succeeding Princess Miriam Likelike, the sister-in-law of Queen Kapiʻolani.[8][9]
DeathEdit
Princess Kekaulike started to suffer from what was termed a "heart disease", a year after Kalākaua's coronation, and during her illness received a visit from Mother Marianne Cope.[2] She was unable to recover and died at her Ululani residence, in Honolulu, on January 8, 1884.[1]
Her funeral expenses added up to $1,931.36.[10] She was interred in the Kalākaua Crypt at the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii. In her will, she gave her Beretania street residence Ululani, as the site of a proposed maternity home to help Hawaiian mothers, which later became the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children.
