Albert Kamehameha, formally Albert Edward Kauikeaouli Kaleiopapa a Kamehameha (May 20 1858-August 27 1862), was the only son of King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma Kaleleonalani Na'ea and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. His name is translated from the Hawaiian language to mean, "The beloved child of a long line of chiefs, a sign in the heavens." Adored by the native Hawaiian public, he was affectionately known as Ka Haku O Hawai'i and was believed to be the hope of Hawai'i. He was the godson of Queen Victoria. He died at the age of four. It was upon his death that King Kamehameha IV constructed the Royal Mausoleum in Nuuanu Valley on the island of O'ahu, today the burial site of the Hawaiian royal family.
