WI Lunalilo Lives Longer?

What is needed is some way to stabilize Lunalilo and steer him away from alcohol. If he had either been married off to Princess Victoria Kamamalu or even to Princess Liliuokalani it probably would have done him a world of good.

The lease of Pearl Harbor to the Americans wasn't received kindly have the Hawaiian populace and he withdrew the treaty IIRC.
 
well, to achieve that, you'll probably have to prevent his Lung infection.
that would probably add on some years, but given his health, I don't think he will live untill 1890. Maybe 1880-1885.

On topic, He might help stabilize the Kingdom, which could Be good or bad, depending on how that goes.

David S Poepoe would know more than I do, though.
 
Princess Victoria Kamamalu and Lunalilo were supposedly betrothed at a very young age. If her brothers were to agree with the dynastic marriage it would cause a problem in that Victoria would succeed Kamehameha V to the throne with Lunalilo serving as Prince-Consort, tho that does still fulfill the WI.

One could see Victoria and Lunalilo married and, probably, having children. Her early death, by whatever means, would see an election to the throne which her husband would be eligable to run for.
