𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐊𝐚𝐰𝐚̄𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐊𝐚𝐰𝐚̄𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐊𝐚𝐰𝐚̄𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐚 (19 February 1868 - 2 June 1908) was a prince of Hawaiian Kingdom and founder of House of Kawānanakoa. 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐊𝐚𝐰𝐚̄𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐚 (1 January 1882 - 12 April 1945) was a Princess of Hawaii. She was the daughter of one of the wealthiest industrialists in the Hawaiian Kingdom. On 6th January 1902, Prince David married Abigail Campbell, daughter of James Campbell. Upon hearing of their wedding, California newspapers covered their simple, informal wedding at the Occidental Hotel and described their kiss: " When the ring had been placed on the bride's finger and the solemn words of the ... sacrament of the church spoken, the blushing princess yielded her hand to her husband, who gravely kissed it. " They had three children together: Abigail (b. 1903), David (b. 1904) and Lydia (b. 1905). In 1907 David converted to Roman Catholicism, previously being faithful to the Church of Hawaii. Possibly converting through the urging of his wife. In 1908, David died of pneumonia and was buried in the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii. Abigail stayed a widow for the rest of her life which ended in 1945 at her Honolulu home. #hawaiianroyalty #davidkawananakoa #abigailcampbell #hawaiianhistory #historicalcouple #historicalfigures #history #historyroyals #royalhistory #royalty #royalfamily #royalcouple https://www.instagram.com/p/CjnnjNVoyIj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
