RESTORATION

Article 3 of The Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi stipulates the order of royal succession to the Hawaiian Throne.


Pursuant to Article 22 of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi Constitution of 1893, the Crown is permanently confirmed to His Majesty – Ali’i Nui Mo’i Edmund Keli’i Silva, Jr., Who’s full Hawaiian Royal name: Nalikolauokalani-Ke’alohilanikikaupe’aokalani-kapahupinea-kaleikoa-keopuhiwa-Paki, was hidden from those who tried to destroy the royal lines. His bloodline is indisputably connected to Kamehameha Nui ‘Ai Lu’au. His royal lineage dates back to 387 A.D.


His Genealogical record exhibits an impeccable chain of custody. It is the original record of the Royal Courts and last chanted in the Royal Court in 1836. In the event of His Majesties death the kingdom shall be properly transferred to the heirs of his body, lawfully begotten, and to their lawful descendants in a direct line except as otherwise herein provided. Succession shall be determined by primogeniture, with the Crown passing in due time to the senior male child of the Sovereign and, subsequently, to the lawful heirs of that child's body.


Failing a suitable male child, the succession shall pass in due time to the senior female child of the Sovereign and, subsequently, to the lawful heirs of that child's body. In the event that there is no heir as above described, then the successor shall be that person whom the Sovereign does so appoint, with the consent of the Nobles, and publicly proclaim as such during the Sovereign's life. Should there be no such appointment and proclamation and the Throne become vacant with no suitable heir, then the Cabinet Council, immediately upon the occurrence of such vacancy, shall convene a meeting of the Legislative Assembly for the purpose of electing a successor.


The Legislative Assembly shall then forthwith elect a successor to the Throne. Such successor shall be selected from among the noble families of the Kingdom and shall be in all other manners suitable to assume the Crown. The successor so selected shall become the new bloodlines for the Royal Family and succession from the Sovereign so selected shall conform in all respects to the provisions of this Article 3.

At present, the line of royal succession is as follows:


  1. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Keli'i Silva III
  2. Her Royal Highness Princess Silva
