Miriam K. Likelike
From Free net encyclopedia
Princess Likelike, a.k.a Miriam Kekauluohi Likelike (1851–1887) was a Princess of Hawai'i and mistress of 'Āinahau. She was the sister of King David Kalakaua and Queen Lili'uokalani. She was the mother of Princess Ka'iulani, last heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. From 1870 she was married to Archibald S. Cleghorn, a Scotsman who thus became sort of a member of the royal family.
She died in 1887, before her daughter reached her teenage years. The cause of the princess's death is still unknown; she is said to have simply taken to her bed and refused all food.
Likelike Highway, historic Likelike Drive Inn and Likelike Elementary School bear the late princess' name.
