The prince’s body was brought to Iolani Palace…and lay in state there.
The procession began… at the palace gates on King Street, marking the start of royal funeral protocols.
A public funeral service was held…at St. Augustine by the Sea Catholic Church.
Prince Kawananakoa was a direct descendant of Prince David Kawananakoa, heir to the Hawaiian Kingdom, and King Kaumualii, the last sovereign ruler of Kauai and Niihau.
In his honor, Gov. Josh Green ordered that the U.S. and Hawaii state flags be flown at half-staff at all state offices and agencies and the Hawaii National Guard.
