Harun Osman Osmanoğlu (born 22 January 1932) is the 46th Head of the House of Osman, which ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1299 until the abolition of the Sultanate in 1922. He is known by the Ottoman imperial name as Şehzade (Prince) Harun Osman Osmanoğlu Effendi.
Life[]
Harun Osman Osmanoğlu's father was Şehzade Mehmed Abdülkerim, the only son of Şehzade Mehmed Selim, the eldest son of Abdul Hamid II.[1] In 1924, when members of the Ottoman dynasty were expelled, they left to Beirut. Mehmed Abdülkerim died in 1935 in Damascus and left his two children, born in 1930 and 1932 orphans at a young age. After his grandfather Mehmed Selim died in 1937, Harun Osman Osmanoğlu had nobody left but his mother. The family, who lived abroad during the long years of exile, came to Istanbul from Damascus in 1974, just after the dynasty members were allowed to return to their homeland. He became the Head of the Ottoman Dynasty in 2021 upon the death of his older brother, Dündar Osmanoğlu.[2] He lives in Istanbul and has nine grandchildren including the controversial princess Duru Hamutcu, who currently resides in the United States.[3]
On the death of his brother, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan telephoned Harun Osman to give his condolences to the family. According to TRT's French website, "Osmanoglu thanked President Erdoğan and said he had always prayed for him. The series 'Payitaht Abdulhamit' broadcast on TRT 1 was discussed during the telephone interview. Harun Osmanoglu said he is following the series."[4] The popularity of the television series about the Ottoman Empire has grown significantly in recent years in Turkey, and the Turkish government under Erdoğan has encouraged a nostalgia for the greatness of the former empire, which is sometimes referred to as 'Neo-Ottomanism'.[5][6]
