Who would be the King of Hawaiʻi today?

For many years, people have asked: “If the Hawaiian monarchy were still in place, who would be the rightful King of Hawaiʻi today?”


The answer is clear. The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi has already been restored under the leadership of His Royal Majesty Edmund Keliʻi Paki-Silva Jr., the reigning Aliʻi Nui Mōʻī (Sovereign King) of the Hawaiian nation.


A Living Monarchy

The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi is not just a memory of the past—it is a living, sovereign nation. Guided by ancestral lineage, cultural responsibility, and the will of the people, His Majesty Edmund Keliʻi Paki-Silva Jr. carries forward the legacy of the Hawaiian monarchy. His reign emphasizes peace, dignity, and the restoration of rightful governance for the Hawaiian people.


Unlike symbolic figures, His Majesty actively serves as a leader. He represents the Kingdom in diplomacy, affirms Hawaiʻi’s independence as recognized by international law, and works tirelessly to preserve Hawaiian culture and heritage for future generations.


The Sovereignty Movement

His Majesty’s leadership is rooted in the sovereignty movement—a movement of restoration, reconciliation, and healing. This effort reaffirms the truth that the Hawaiian Kingdom, recognized by nations worldwide in the 19th century, was never lawfully extinguished.


Under King Edmund’s direction, the Kingdom continues its mission to:


  • Preserve Hawaiian sovereignty as a living nation.
  • Protect cultural identity through language, traditions, and spiritual heritage.
  • Strengthen international relations with governments and peoples across the world.
  • Guide reconciliation between the Hawaiian people and those who seek to understand and honor the truth of Hawaiʻi’s history.


A King for Today

His Majesty King Edmund Keliʻi Paki-Silva Jr. is not only a guardian of Hawaiʻi’s past but also a steward of its future. Through his reign, the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi stands as both a spiritual and governmental anchor for the Hawaiian people—a reminder that sovereignty lives on.


So when the question arises, “Who would be King of Hawaiʻi today?” the answer is not hypothetical. It is reality:
