Şehzade Mehmed Abdülkerim (Ottoman Turkish: شهزادہ محمد عبدالکریم; 27 June 1906 – 3 August 1935) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Şehzade Mehmed Selim and Nilüfer Hanım. He was the grandson of Abdul Hamid II and Bedrifelek Kadın.
Life[]
In 1933, Abdul Kerim was invited to Japan by their government, presumably with an eye towards leveraging his status as the Ottoman pretender to aid the Japanese Empire in outreach to Central Asian Muslims in conflict with the Soviet Union.[1][2][3]
He was educated at the Galatasaray College, Istanbul.
Marriages and issue[]
He married at Aleppo on 24 February 1930 and divorced in 1931 to Nimet Hanım (Damascus, 25 December 1911 – Damascus, 4 August 1981), and had two sons:
- Şehzade Dündar Ali Osman Osmanoğlu (born Damascus, 30 December 1930 – 18 January 2021), married to Yüsra Hanım (1927 - 2017), without issue
- Şehzade Harun Osmanoğlu (born Damascus, 22 January 1932), married to Farizet Darvich Hanım (born 1947), and has two sons and one daughter.
