List of heirs to the Hawaiian throne
- List of heirs to the Hawaiian throne
This is a list of the individuals who were, at any given time, considered the next in line to inherit the throne of Kingdom of Hawaii, should the incumbent monarch die. Those who actually succeeded (at any future time) are shown in bold. Stillborn children and infants surviving less than a month are also included.
It may be noted that the succession was highly uncertain, and was not governed by a fixed convention, for much earlier history of the kingdom. It was only upon the later years of the monarchy that the monarchs took care in choosing an heir before their own death. Also all the Hawaiian monarchs, with the exception of the first, were unable to produce offsprings that lived passed childhood.
Significant breaks in the succession and years where the monarch had no legally chosen heir are not shown in the table below. Although the founding monarch, Kamehameha I, had sons prior Liholiho, there was no designated heir between the years 1795, the monarchy’s fouding date, to the year 1797, the year of Liholiho’s birth. Officially chosen heirs during and after Kamehameha III’s reign were granted the title Crown Prince or Crown Princess and styled His or Her Royal Highness.

1873 to 1874
From 1873 to 1874 during the reign of William Charles Lunalilo, another bachelor king like his predecessor Kamehameha V, there were no official heirs. But a few chiefs and chiefesses, the closest in relationship to Lunalilo, were thought to have been eligible to succeed to the throne. And two were the competing pair in the Royal Election of 1874.
