Mihrişah Sultan (daughter of Şehzade Izzeddin)

Mihriban Mihrişah Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: مھربان مھرشاہ سلطان; "kind sun/light" and "sun/light of the Şah"; 30 August 1916 – 25 January 1987) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of heir to the throne Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin, son of Sultan Abdulaziz, and Leman Hanım.

She was the second wife of Şehzade Ömer Faruk, son of the last Caliph of the Muslim world, Abdulmejid II and Şehsuvar Hanım.

Her father was crown prince Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin, son of Abdulaziz and Dürrünev Kadın, and her mother was Leman Hanım, his six consort.

[3] In 1944, Mihrişah even sided with Faruk when the council chose Prince Ahmed Nihad as the head of the family.

[5] Faruk divorced Sabiha on 5 March 1948, after twenty-eight years of marriage,[6] and just four months later married Mihrişah in a religious ceremony on 31 July 1948.

[8] The marriage to Mihrişah damaged the relationship between Farouk and his daughters, especially that with Neslişah Sultan, already compromised by the fact that Faruk, years earlier, had forced her to marry.

She spent her last years with her cousin Gevheri Sultan, daughter of her uncle Şehzade Mehmed Seyfeddin, in a spacious apartment in Taksim Square.
