Life

H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Mahmud Namık Effendi[1][2][3][4][5][6] was born in Dolmabahçe Palace and lived there until the death of his grandfather, H.I.M. Sultan Mehmed V Reşad, just before the end of World War I on 4th July 1918. He then moved with his family to a Konak (residence) at Nişantaşı for the winter months and to one in Bağlarbaşı, above Beylerbeyi, for the summer. 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. Prince (Şehzade) Mahmud Namık Efendi left his homeland aged 10, never to return to Turkey, since he died before the decree of exile was lifted. He was initially sent to boarding school in Lebanon, but then soon came to live with his family in Nice, France once they had settled there 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. In 1934 he moved to Alexandria, Egypt with his father, H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Ömer Hilmi Efendi, and grandmother, and was later joined in January by his sister, H.I.H. Princess Emine Mükbile Sultan, and his brother-in-law, H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Ali Vâsib Efendi. He worked until the end of World War II for the Alexandria tramline company. In the late 1940’s he established himself as a successful businessman and settled in Geneva, Switzerland where he developed his business interests in places as far apart as Pakistan and the USA. In 1958 he was asked to help negotiate the marriage of his cousin H.R.H Princess Sabiha Fazila Hanimsultan, the only daughter of Damad H.R.H Prince Muhammad 'Ali Ibrahim Beyefendi of Egypt and H.I.H Princess Zehra Hanzade Sultan, to King Faisal II of Iraq. The engagement was brutally brought to an end by the murder of King Faisal II, following a military coup on 14th July 1958. H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Mahmud Namık Efendi had a passion for music and in particular very much enjoyed playing the Spanish guitar.
