Neslişah Sultan (daughter of Şehzade Ömer Faruk)

Two years earlier, Abdel Moneim, heir to a US$50,000,000 fortune, had obtained permission from his second cousin King Farouk of Egypt to Marry Princess Myzejen Zogu (1909–1969), sister of King Zog I of Albania.

However, the marriage never took place and Prince Abdel Moneim married Neslişah instead.

Fatma Neslişah Sultan, also Büyük Neslişah, after 1957 Neslişah Osmanoğlu (نسل شاہ سلطان, "one who abstain" and "born from the Şah"; 2 February 1921 – 2 April 2012) was an Ottoman princess, the paternal granddaughter of the last Ottoman Caliph Abdulmejid II and his first wife, Şehsuvar Hanım and maternal granddaughter of the last Ottoman Sultan Mehmed VI and his first wife, Nazikeda Kadın.

She was the daughter of Şehzade Ömer Faruk and his first wife and cousin Sabiha Sultan.

Neslişah Sultan was born on 2 February 1921 in Nişantaşi Palace, Constantinople.

Her father was Şehzade Ömer Faruk, only son of Caliph Abdulmejid II and Şehsuvar Hanım.

Her mother was Sabiha Sultan, youngest daughter of Sultan Mehmed VI and Nazikeda Kadın.

She had two younger sisters, Hanzade Sultan, and Necla Sultan.

Her birth was the final entry inscribed in the palace register of dynasty members, making her the last imperial member of the Ottoman family.

Shortly after her birth, she was nicknamed Büyük Neslişah, or Neslişah "the elder", to distinguish her from the slightly younger cousin Safvet Neslişah Sultan, called Küçük Neslişah (Neslişah "the younger").

At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Neslişah and her family settled in Nice, France where she was educated.

Here she spent her childhood and adolescence.

Their grandfather, Abdulmejid used to take her and her sister Neslişah to seashore during special occasions.

They moving to Egypt in 1938, where she received a proposal from Egyptian prince Hassan Toussoun, and despite protests, she was engaged to him.

However, later she broke off the engagement.

In 1940, Prince Muhammad Abdel Moneim, son of Egypt's last Khedive Abbas Hilmi II send a proposal to Neslişah, as he was willing to Marry her.

Neslişah didn't agree and relations between her and father got cold, following which she agreed, despite her younger sister Hanzade, who later married another Egyptian prince a week before her sister, had volunteered to Marry Moneim in her stead, an offer her father refused.

The marriage took place on 26 September 1940 in el-Orouba Palace, Cairo, and she was given the title Sahibat-al Sumuw Al-Amira Neslishah (Her Highness Princess Neslishah).

On 16 October 1941, she gave birth to Prince Abbas Hilmi.

Around 1943 Neslişah's father, Ömer Faruk developed an increased interest in his cousin Mihrişah Sultan, the daughter of Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin.

It was also a public knowledge that things weren't going well between Faruk and her mother Sabiha.

She and her sisters sided with their mother.

Faruk accused Sabiha of turning their daughters against him.

But he was already in love with Mihrişah and the issue of the council was just an excuse.

He was followed three years later by Princess Ikbal, born on 22 December 1944.

In 1948, after twenty-eight years of marriage, Faruk divorced Sabiha, and married Mihrişah, after which Sabiha came to live near her.

Neslişah never accept her father's second wife.

Prince Abdel Moneim's regency lasted ten months in all.

When the Egyptian Free Officers Movement deposed King Farouk in the July 1952 Revolution, they chose Prince Abdel Moneim to serve as chairman of the three-member Regency Body established to assume the powers of Farouk's newly enthroned infant son Fuad II.

The Regency Body was dissolved on 7 September 1952, and Abdel Moneim was appointed as sole Prince regent.

In the absence of a Queen consort, Neslişah de facto served as such by virtue of her position as the wife of the Prince regent.

Her few official appearances during her husband's regency focused on charity work.

Like the royal consorts who preceded her, she attended sporting events such as polo matches and the international tennis tournament final.

The Egyptian Revolutionary Command Council formally abolished the monarchy on 18 June 1953.

In 1957, Abdel Moneim and Neslişah were arrested.

Again forced into exile, Neslişah was released from prison after the President of the Republic of Turkey intervened and demanded her release.

She subsequently lived for a short time in Europe, then returned to her native Turkey.

In 1963, she reclaimed Turkish citizenship, and took the surname Osmanoğlu.

Prince Abdel Moneim died in 1979 in Istanbul, where Princess Neslişah continued to live with her unmarried daughter Ikbal.

Neslişah died of heart attack on 2 April 2012 at her home in Ortaköy, attended by her daughter.
