On March 17th, 2018, the Royal Order of the Crown of Hawaiʻi conducted their Investiture of new Knights, Dames, and Officers at the Coronation Pavilion on the hallowed grounds of Hale Aliʻi and ʻIolani.

​

The Investiture articulated the cultural continuity of the Hawaiian kingdom. The tradition of royal honors were bestowed by HRH Princess Owana Kaʻōhelelani Salazar, Head of the Royal Family of Hawaiʻi. The historical occasion brought together prominent individuals from our islands and around the world to commemorate the 204th anniversary of the birth of the founder of the Order, His Majesty King Kamehameha III.

​

The next day on March 18, 2018 the gala of the Kamehameha Foundation with members of the Royal Order of the Crown was held at the Kahala Hotel & Resort.  Proceeds raised were for the benefit of Hawaii charities.
