Early life

edit

Adile Hanımsultan was born on 12 November 1900 in the Ortaköy Palace.[1][2] Her father was Mehmed Kemaleddin Pasha, son of Gazi Osman Pasha and Zatıgül Hanım.[3][4] Her mother was Naime Sultan, daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and Bidar Kadın.[5][3] She had an older brother, Sultanzade Mehmed Cahid Osman Bey.[6] She was educated at the Ortaköy Palace.[2]

In 1904, when she was four years old, her parents divorced, due to her father's affair with Hatice Sultan, daughter of Murad V.[7] Her father was stripped of all military honours and ranks and exiled to Bursa. He came back to Istanbul in 1909 and died in 1920.[8] Her mother afterwards married İşkodralı Celaleddin Pasha in 1907.[1][9][10]

Marriages and descendants

edit

Adile's first husband was Şehzade Mahmud Şevket, son of Şehzade Mehmed Seyfeddin and Nervaliter Hanım, and three years her junior.[11][12] The marriage took place on 4 May 1922 in the Üsküdar Palace, when Adile was twenty two and Mahmud was nineteen years old.[1][11] The couple was given Kuruçeşme Palace as their residence.[11] On 27 January 1923, she gave birth to the couple's only child, a daughter, Hamide Nermin Nezahet Sultan.[1][11] Nermin developed bone tuberculosis, which afflicted her throughout her life.[13]

After the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Adile and her husband first settled in France and then in Egypt.[11] Their daughter Nermin was taken by her grandmother, Naime, who claimed that Adile and Mahmud were too young to look after her. Nermin then grew up with her in Albania.[14] Her parents divorced on 28 March 1928 in Cairo.[11]

In 1930, Adile married Orhan El-Bekri, a wealthy man of Turkish origin.[13] The couple had three children, two daughters and a son, Ayten El-Bekri, Kubilay El-Bekri and Şermin El-Bekri.[1][13] Her son Kubilay married Gönül Hanım, a woman of Turkish origin. Her daughter Ayten married renowned Egyptian Professor Zekeriya Nasr. Şermin and Ayten both settled in Paris, France.[13]

Death

edit

In 1952 the law for princesses was passed, which allowed them to return to Turkey; however Adile did not return and chose to remain in Cairo. She died in February 1979 at the age of seventy-eight in Cairo.[1][13][15]
