The Crown of Hawaii claims to represent the lineage of the Hawaiian royal family. Genealogical records of the Hawaiian royal family are preserved in the Hawaiʻi State Archives. However, multiple individuals and groups have claimed royal Hawaiian lineage, and there is no authoritative adjudication of these competing claims. No documented treaty record or international recognition exists for the Crown of Hawaii organization.
CONCLUSION: Without documented international recognition, a verified genealogical chain of succession, or any court-affirmed standing, claims of Crown of Hawaii authority cannot be verified from the public record. This is not a finding of fraud — the genealogical claims may be sincere — but they are unverifiable with the currently available evidence.
