she was the royal governor of the big island for 20 years. and when kalakaua became king, he was so jealous of her heritage, he stripped her of her royal titles, took away her governorship, which was extremely stupid because she wound up inheriting all of the land that was 10% of the kingdom. and she was also the hanai mother of his younger brother, the crown prince. so, if she had just treated her with respect, he would have inherited a vast fortune. he could have told the american businessmen to put a sock in it and ruled by decree, but he just had to feel like he was getting the better of kaelikulani and insulted her and slighted her. she knew how deep in debt he went to build the palace, so she called somebody and said, i'll build a nicer place than that. she just paid for it in cash because it was a minor expense to her, just to show him that he was no big deal. she remained, actually, quite close to liliu and to bernice as well. she was extremely popular. in fact, there's a great story in hawaii that in 1880, mt. aloa erupted and there
