Life

Her father Robert Keōua was son of Theresa Owana Kaohelelani Laʻanui and her second husband Robert William Wilcox (1855–1903).

She based her claim to the Hawaiian crown on her family's descent from King Kamehameha I's eldest half-brother Kalokuokamaile, and through her great grand aunt, Elizabeth Kekaaniau Laʻanui Pratt, a dynast named by King Kamehameha III, and a student at the Royal School developed to educate royal heirs. She used the regal name Kalokuokamaile II, stating that she was Kalokuokamaile's successor.^[2]
