The Royal Guard of the Hawaii National Guard is an Air National Guard ceremonial unit which is uniformed in a manner similar to the royal bodyguard of the Kingdom of Hawaii of the late 19th century.[1]
The last remaining Royal Guard unit of Hawaiian Kingdom was abolished after the monarchy fell during the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom at the end of the 19th century.[2]
