'who one abstain' and 'tranquil'; 5 September 1876 – c. 1945) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and Bidar Kadın.
Fatma Naime Sultan was born on 5 September 1876 in the Dolmabahçe Palace,[1] four days after her father's accession to the throne.
[9] In 1877, Naime and other members of the imperial family settled in the Yıldız Palace,[10] after Abdul Hamid moved there on 7 April 1877.
However it wasn't accepted by Mehmed Reşad, and as a result the marriage did not take place (curiously, Naime's son will later marry Ziyaeddin's daughter).
[16] In 1898, Abdul Hamid arranged Naime's marriage to Mehmed Kemaleddin Bey, younger son of Gazi Osman Pasha and Zatıgül Hanım, a lady formerly in harem of Sultan Abdulaziz,[17][5] whose eldest son Ali Nureddin Pasha was husband of her elder sister, Princess Zekiye Sultan.
[19] Gazi Osman Pasha sent Princess Naime a tiara, while Abdul Hamid presented her new mother-in-law with the Order of the Medjidie.
[21] Quite a few old-fashioned persons criticized the fact that her dress was white, because until that time all princesses had worn red at their weddings.
[20] The marriage was described by Ayşe Sultan, one of Naime's half-sisters, in her memories: When her husband entered the salon in the harem where his bride was seated, he ceremoniously asked her to rise but the princess refused (as was custom).
Don’t hurt our son-in-law’s feelings.” Naime Sultan finally rose, and cries of Maşallah were heard while the Hamidiye March was played.
Kemaleddin Paşa and the Constable of the Maidens escorted her with difficulty to the bridal room, because the stairway was crowded with guests and Naime Sultan’s dress was particularly heavy.
She seated in the corner set up for her inside the bridal room, then the groom exited and tossed golden coins around.
[22] Adile married Şehzade Mahmud Şevket, a son of Şehzade Mehmed Seyfeddin, and grandson son of Abdulaziz and Gevheri Kadın [23] Hatice Sultan, daughter of Sultan Murad V, her neighbour in the adjoining villa, had been having an affair for three years, between 1901 and 1904, with her husband, Kemaleddin Pasha.
The shock of discovering that the husband she loved was cheating on her with her cousin further weakened her and she did not recover for some time, and this reinforced the rumors that the two lovers had poisoned her.
Thus, she wanted to take revenge from Sultan Abdul Hamid, who has imprisoned her father in Çırağan Palace for years, left her single until the age of thirty and caused her to marry someone she never loved.
Hatice's father, Murad, was a diabetic and when he heard of the affair, the shock of his distress brought on his death a short time later.
[32] In exile, she taught Turkish and told stories about the lavish life of the palace to her grandson, Bülent Osman.
[34] This proved to be true as Şehzade Mahmud Şevket had found his daughter Nermin, in a concentration camp as she lived with Naime.
