Tehaapapa III

Princess Teri'inavaharoa (8 August 1879 – 27 April 1917) was the last sovereign monarch of the Kingdom of Huahine and Mai'ao from 1893 to 1895. Comteporary sources seems to call her Tehaapapa II instead, disregarding the ruling queen by the same name at the time James Cook visited the island.^{[citation needed ]}

Teha'apapa III was a member of a royal Tahitian dynasty, the deposed royal family Teururai of Huahine.

As a Tahitian Princess, she became Queen of Huahine.

She was the last Queen of Huahine from 1893 to 1895. She was the eldest daughter of Marama Teururai, prince regent of Huahine by his wife Tetuanuimarama a Teuruari'i, Princess of Rurutu.

She was crowned with the regnal name Teha'apapa III in 1893, and was deposed when Huahine was annexed by the French in September 1895.

She married first at Fare on 15 May 1895 (divorced 6 August 1897) to His Highness Teriitevaearai a Mai, a descendant of Mai, of the Princely House of Bora Bora, and secondly on 1900 to a native minor noble man called Tinitua a Tuariihi'onoa .

She had one son by her first husband and eleven other natural children through a morganatic union with Tinitua a Tuariihi'onoa.

She died at Fare, 27 April 1917.
