Princess Helen Lydia Kamakaʻeha Liliʻuokalani Kawānanakoa (circa, 1905 - 1969), was the second daughter of Prince David Kawananakoa born during his marriage with Princess Abigail Wahi'ika'ahu'ula Campbell Kawananakoa. According to some she became the head of the House of Kawananakoa upon the death of her elder brother Edward D. Kawānanakoa on May 20, 1953 while some believe it was her elder sister Princess Abigail Kapiolani Kawananakoa. Basically the House of Kawananakoa had split into two by 1953. Some support Princess Lydia, the younger of the two princesses, because her eldest sister, Abigail's, legitimacy has even been question by both the girls' father, Prince David Kawananakoa.
The Lydia Kawananakoa was named after her great-aunt, Queen Liliuokalani, whom the family inherited the pretending throne of Hawaii from. The Princess Lydia married five time: To Dr. William Jeremiah Ellerbrock in January 17, 1925 at Honolulu, Hawaii. Her second marriage was to Charles James Brenham at Niu, August 11, 1928. Her third husband was Clark Lee, fourth Charles Morris and fifth a Mr. Dowsett. She had one daughter from her first marriage: Princess Abigail Kinoiki Kekaulike Kawananakoa (born 1926).
Upon her death on 1969, her only daughter Abigail inherited her claim as heir of the House of Kawananakoa and to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. She was the Founder of the Kona Hawaiian Civic Club in 1952 and was President of Friends of 'Iolani Palace 1966-1969. [1]
