-==Life==
-H.I.H. Princess Emine Mükbile Sultan was born in Dolmabahçe Palace, İstanbul  and lived there until the death of her grandfather, H.I.M. Sultan Mehmed V Reşad, just before the end of World War I on 4th July 1918.   She then moved with her family to a Konak at Nişantaşı for the winter months and to one in Bağlarbaşı, above Beylerbeyi, for the summer.  As a young child she was taken by her mother, H.H. Hadice Firdevs Gülnev Başhanımefendi, to some military hospitals during WWI, to visit injured Ottoman troops brought back from the front.  These visits and the following occupation of Istanbul by Allied troops after the war, made a deep and lasting impression on her.  H.I.M. Sultan Mehmed V Reşad acknowledged his daughter-in-law H.H. Hadice Firdevs Gülnev Başhanımefendi for making these hospital visits and for her dedication to charitable causes and awarded her The Imperial Order of Appreciation – First Class.  At the age of 8 her mother, H.H. Hadice Firdevs Gülnev Başhanımefendi, died from Spanish influenza, following an epidemic of the disease in İstanbul.  Her father’s second wife H.H. Bahtıter Başhanımefendi cared for her and her brother well until their divorce in 1921, and H.I.H. Princess Emine Mükbile Sultan always spoke fondly of her step-mother, who she called ‘minianne’, ‘little mummy’.  She visited her in Istanbul in the 1950s once she was permitted to return to Turkey.  Following the establishment of the Turkish Republic and the aboliton of the Ottoman Sultanate and the Ottoman Caliphate, the entire Imperial Ottoman family were forced into exile in March 1924.  H.I.H. Princess Emine Mükbile Sultan went into exile aged 13, with her father H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Ömer Hilmi Efendi, the son of H.I.M. Sultan Mehmed V Reşad, with her grandmother, H.H. Mihrengiz Kadınefendi, who had been the wife of H.I.M. Sultan Mehmed V Reşad, and with her younger brother, H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Mahmud Namık Efendi.  Like all other members of the Imperial family, they left İstanbul from Sirkeci Train Station and first went to Budapest.  They lived here for a few months, then moved to Vienna, then Paris, before settling in Nice, France, to be close to the former Ottoman Sultan, H.I.M. Sultan Mehmed VI Vahideddin,  who had rented a villa in San Remo, and to their cousin the last Caliph of Islam H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Abdul Mecid II, who lived in Nice.  It was in Nice on 24th April 1931 at the Ruhl Hotel that  H.I.H. Princess Emine Mükbile Sultan married her cousin H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Ali Vassıb Efendi, however she largely continued to live with her father, grandmother and brother and not with her new husband as she felt it her duty to take care of her family.  In January 1935 the family emigrated to Alexandria, Egypt, but only 3 months later H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Ömer Hilmi Efendi died following a stroke.  Four years later in 1939 H.H. Mihrengiz Kadınefendi also died, and it was only then, after the deaths of her father and her grandmother, that H.I.H. Princess Emine Mükbile Sultan, who had sacrificed the best years of her life for her family, would contemplate having a family of her own with her husband.  Her son, and only child,  H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Osman Selaheddin Efendi, was born the following year.  She found life in exile extremely difficult, and always said her soul had remained in Turkey.  Once permitted to return to Turkey in 1974 with her husband, they rented a humble flat in İstanbul in the old part of the city near Sultan Ahmed Square.
