Naciye Sultan

[3] Her family spent their winters in the Feriye Palace, and their summers in the Nisbetiyye Mansion located in Bebek.

Her second teacher was Hafez Ihsan Efendi with whom she took her Turkish lessons for many years before he was replaced with Halid Ziya Bey (Uşaklıgil).

[5] Ismail Enver Pasha became the subject of gossip about an alleged romance between him and Princess Iffet of Egypt.

When this story reached Istanbul, the grand vizier, Hüseyin Hilmi Pasha decided to exploit Enver's marital eligibility by arranging a rapprochement between the Committee of Union and Progress and the imperial family.

[6] After a careful search, the grand vizier chose Naciye Sultan as Enver's future bride.

Enver had never seen Naciye, and he did not trust his mother's letters, since he suspected her of being enamored with the idea of having a princess as her daughter-in-law.

[7] Therefore, he asked a reliable friend, Ahmed Rıza Bey, who was a member of the Turkish Parliament to investigate.

Following the old Ottoman pattern of life and tradition, the engagement ceremony was celebrated in Enver's absence as he remained in Berlin.

[19] In February, 1914 the organization announced the start of a course for nursing aids, which would consist of eighteen lessons of two hours each on Fridays and Sundays.

These 27 women, who were all wives and daughters of prominent Ottoman officials, received their certificate during a ceremony in the presence of Naciye and her mother, and Sultan Mehmed V's first wife Kamures Kadın.

[21] Naciye's leading role in this society was a clear sign of the committee's involvement in integrating women into a life beyond the household.

[3] In 1933, she met with her brother Şehzade Mehmed Şerafeddin in Nice, nine years after the exile of the imperial family.

[25] In 1946, after the end of the World War, Naciye, her husband and their daughter Rana returned to Paris, France.

Mahpeyker married her colleague Doctor Fikret Ürgüplü, and again Naciye was unable to attend her wedding either.

For his brother Nuri Killigil who was overseeing the works of Naciye Sultan and her family was killed by an explosion in his gun factory in Istanbul on 2 March 1949.

And second, Sabiha Sultan, her cousin, who returned to Turkey after the enactment of the passport law, wrote in her diary that Naciye and Kamil Pasha paid her a visit in Istanbul on 1 September 1952.

[29] Naciye Sultan died of liver cancer in Nişantaşı on 4 December 1957 at the age of sixty-one, and was buried beside her father due to her last will in the mausoleum of Şehzade Ahmed Kemaleddin, Yahya Efendi cemetery.
