User:Mark Miller/Hawaiian royal titles

In British Constitutional law, use of the style H.R.H. or simply "Royal Highness" may only be conferred by letters patent and only to the children of the monarch's son. Beginning in 1847 the Hawaiian Kingdom began basing their laws in part on British Common Law, and later strengthening that commitment further in 1858. On June 11, 1858 Kamehameha IV, conferred to his son, Prince Albert (by letters patent), the title and style of; "His Royal Highness the Prince of Hawaii".
