Hamide Nermin Nezahet Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: حمیدہ نرمین نزاھت سلطان; "praised", "softness, delicate" and "prosperity", 27 January 1923 – 7 November 1998) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Şehzade Mahmud Şevket, son of Şehzade Mehmed Seyfeddin and Nervaliter Hanım and Adile Hanımsultan, daughter of Mehmed Kemaleddin Pasha and Naime Sultan.
[2][4] Her mother was Adile Hanımsultan, daughter of Mehmed Kemaleddin Pasha and Naime Sultan.
[3][5] At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Nermin settled in Nice, France with her grandmother Naime Sultan, because she argued that the couple were too young and inexperienced to care for the daughter.
Henri Matisse, one of the most prominent French painters lived in her neighbouring house, and one day he met Nermin, whom he found really beautiful.
[9] After her grandmother's death, a British intelligence officer in Egypt, historian Lord Patrick Kinross, later brought her to Cairo by a military transport aircraft.
