Family
Despite all his editorials against monarchy, Wilcox married two royal women. His first wife was an Italian Baroness and his second wife a Hawaiian princess. Wilcox's first wife was Baronessa Gina Sobrero, eldest daughter of Baron Lorenzo Sobrero of Piedmont and Princess Vittoria Colonna di Stigliano of Naples. His daughter from his first marriage died shortly after his breakup with Baronessa Gina Sobrero. On August 20, 1896 Wilcox married Princess Theresa Owana Kaʻohelelani Laʻanui (1860–1944) who was descended from a brother of King Kamehameha I. They had a son and a daughter, Prince Robert Kalanikupuapaikalaninui (1893–1934) and Princess Virginia Kahoa Kaʻahumanu Kaihikapumahana (1895–1954). Another daughter Elizabeth Kaʻakaualaninui died young in 1898.
