Ayşe Gülnev Osmanoğlu Sultan[1][2] (born Henley-on-Thames, 17 January 1971) is a member of the Osmanoğlu family. The family members are descended from the Sultans who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1299 until the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923.
Ayşe is a descendant of Sultan Murad V, 33rd sovereign of the House of Osman and Sultan Mehmed V, the 35th sovereign of the House of Osman.[3][4]
Biography[edit]
Ayşe Gülnev is the only daughter of Şehzade Osman Selaheddin Vâsib Osmanoğlu (Alexandria, 7 July 1940), educated at Victoria College, Alexandria, member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of London, and wife (married London, 27 August 1966 and divorced 6 May 1991) Athena Joy Christoforides (London, 9 March 1944).
Ayşe Gülnev is the great-great-great-granddaughter of Sultan Murad V, 33rd sovereign of the House of Osman through her grandfather Ali Vâsib, the 41st Head of the Imperial House of Osman, and also the great-great-granddaughter of Sultan Mehmed V, the 35th sovereign of the House of Osman, through her grandmother Emine Mükbile. Her father Osman Selaheddin is the only Ottoman prince whose parents are both descendants of the Imperial Ottoman Dynasty. Ayşe has three younger brothers: Şehzade Orhan Murad Osmanoğlu (b. 1972), Şehzade Nihad Reshad Osmanoğlu (b. 1978 – d. 1978) and Şehzade Selim Süleyman Osmanoğlu (b. 1979).
Her mother is the daughter of Richard C. Christoforides (14 April 1915 – 5 February 1967), Managing Director of R. Christoforides & Ass., engine and car manufacturers; brother of Marcia Anastasia Christoforides (27 July 1910 – 28 October 1994), married firstly in 1942 Sir James Hamet Dunn, 1st Baronet, (29 October 1874 – 1 January 1956) and married secondly in June 1963 Sir William Maxwell Aitken (25 May 1879 – 9 June 1964), 1st Baron Beaverbrook; and his wife Eugenie Elizabeth Rogers-Tillstone (23 January 1916 – 2 May 1982); the paternal granddaughter of John Christoforidi or Christoforides (Ottoman Province of Aydin - Leyswood – Groombridge, England, 1884 - 1956), and wife, Mildred Nightingale-Boys (26 May 1881 – 7 July 1924); and maternal granddaughter of Hermann Francis Rogers-Tillstone (Tunbridge - Moulsecoomb Place, Brighton, 1888 – 15 June 1937) and wife, Irene Annie Lucy Mackay (London, 1895 - 10 July 1936) of Clan Mackay
Ayşe graduated from the University of Exeter with a degree in History and Politics. She then obtained a master's degree in Turkish Studies at SOAS University of London, specialising in Ottoman History. She spent twenty years building up a property investment and development company alongside her husband, but is now working on researching and writing historical novels on Ottoman history.[5] She co-wrote the historical background to 'Memoirs of an Ottoman Prince', which is a biography of her grandfather Prince Ali Vâsib Efendi.
Marriage and issue[edit]
Ayşe married Nicholas Sutton (born 18 August 1969) on 27 August 1994; on their marriage he gained the title of Damat ("bridegroom" to the Ottoman dynasty) and the honorific His Highness. Together they have five children, four sons and one daughter:
- Sultanzade Maximilian Ali Sutton (born in London, England, on 15 January 2000)
- Sultanzade Cosmo Tarik Sutton (born in London, England, on 10 September 2001)
- Sultanzade Lysander Cengiz Sutton (born in London, England, on 12 April 2003)
- Tatyana Aliye Hanımsultan Sutton (born in Sussex, England, on 25 March 2005)
- Sultanzade Ferdinand Ziya Sutton (born in Sussex, England, on 26 July 2006)
Ayşe lives in Sussex, England, with her family and spends the summers near Bodrum, Turkey.[6][7]
Resurgence of interest in the Ottoman dynasty[edit]
Since 2000 there has been a growing interest in the living members of the Ottoman family, both within Turkey and abroad.
In 2006, family members met at Dolmabahçe Palace for the presentation of the documentary "Osmanoğlu'nun Sürgünü" ("The Ottomans' Exile") produced by TRT (Turkish Radio and Television Corporation).[8] This documentary followed the stories of the members of the Ottoman family who went into exile in 1924, following the establishment of the Turkish Republic and the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate. It then follows the stories of their descendants, who now live in Turkey, Europe, the United States and throughout the Middle East. Extensive coverage of this event, and the success of the documentary series has dramatically raised the profile of the Imperial Family.[9][10]
Thousands of mourners paid their respects at the funeral of Ertuğrul Osman in September 2009. He was the last head of the Imperial Ottoman family to have been born in Istanbul before the family were sent into exile.[11]
In December 2013, the then Foreign Minister of Turkey, Ahmet Davutoğlu, invited members of the Ottoman family living in England to a dinner in London at the Residence of the Turkish Ambassador to the United Kingdom[12]
