Olive Soulouque, Princess Imperial of Haiti (29 November 1842 – 23 July 1883) was the eldest daughter of Emperor Faustin I of Haiti and Adélina Lévêque.

Life

Olive Soulouque was the eldest of two daughters of Faustin Soulouque and Adélina Lévêque. Born illegitimate, she was legitimated after the marriage of her parents on 31 December 1847, and raised to the title of Princess Imperial of Haiti and granted the style of Imperial Highness on 26 August 1849.[1] As her father had no son, and preferred a male heir, he proclaimed his nephew Mainville-Joseph Soulouque heir to the throne. On 26 December 1861, Olive married prince Mainville-Joseph. She had initially opposed the marriage, but was convinced by her mother. When her father was deposed in 1859, she and her family followed her parents in exile. She died in Port-au-Prince on 23 July 1883, having had issue, three sons and one daughter, all of them died young.
