Lütfiye Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: لطفیه سلطان; 20 March 1910 – 11 June 1997) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Şehzade Mehmed Ziyaeddin, son of Mehmed V.
Early life
Lütfiye Sultan was born on 20 March 1910 in the Dolmabahçe Palace.[1] Her father was Şehzade Mehmed Ziyaeddin, and her mother was Perizad Hanım. She was the sixth child, and fifth daughter born to her father and the second child of her mother. She had one full-sister, Hayriye Sultan two years older than her.[2] She was the granddaughter of Sultan Mehmed V and Kamures Kadın.[3]
According to her Palace teacher, Safiye Ünüvar, she was a beautiful blond haired girl like her sister and mother.[4] She and her sister started their education in 1915, by the consent of their grandfather. Their first lessons were learning the Quran and then continue other studies.[5] They recited the Quran in a Recitation Ceremony arranged by their grandfather in the Lesser Chancellery of the palace,[6] along with them a girl named Nesrin also recited Quran in the ceremony.[7]
Later, during the last years of her grandfather's reign, her parents and her sister and teacher settled in a villa located in Haydarpasha.[8] Following the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Lütfiye and her family settled in Alexandria, Egypt.[3]
Marriage
Lütfiye Sultan married Hasan Kemal Bey on 3 June 1932 in Alexandria, Egypt. A year after the marriage on 7 May 1933 she gave birth to the couple's first child a son, Sultanzade Ahmed Reşid Bey, who died at the age of twenty five in 1958. A year later on 7 May 1934, she gave birth to the couple's second child, another son, Sultanzade Reşad Bey,he died at the age of seventy-nine in January 2014.[9] The couple's third child and only daughter Perizad Hanımsultan was born on 11 January 1936.[3] The couple later settled in Maadi, Cairo.[10]
Lütfiye's husband was referred to among the Ottoman royals as Damat Kemal denoting his membership in that ethereal cast of Imperial grooms. The couple owned a large handsome villa on Road 10. The villa had been the wartime scene of a historic wedding when her younger sister, Mihrimah Sultan, married Prince Nayef bin Abdullah of Transjordan.[10] Lütfiye was frequently seen driving around Maadi in her American coupé dernier model.[10]
She was widowed at Kemal's death in 1958.[3]
Death
Lütfiye Sultan died on 11 June 1997 at the age of eighty seven in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She was buried in the mausoleum of her grandfather Sultan Mehmed V, located in Eyüp, Istanbul.[3][1][11]
