NYPOST: Meghan Markle ‘feels’ Kate Middleton ‘got away with’ mistreating her: source

August 2, 2023 9:43am Updated

Tensions between sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been bubbling ever since the former actress married Prince Harry in 2018, according to some loose-lipped royal watchers.

An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex, 41, claimed Middleton, also 41, made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St. George’s Chapel.

Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband, Prince William, 41, still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

“Meghan feels they’ve never been held accountable for the way they treated her when she was part of the royals, have never apologized and have seemingly got away with it,” an unnamed source dished, according to the Mirror.

The star of the suddenly record-setting TV series “Suits” is also allegedly shocked at the lack of criticism of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Harry and Markle have hyped numerous projects — such as the Invictus Games founder’s memoir “Spare” and the duo’s Netflix documentary series — in which they spoke out against the United Kingdom’s royal family.

Another insider added that Markle was “convinced” the public would be on her side regarding the feud with the Firm.

However, “that hasn’t happened,” according to the self-proclaimed insider.

“This isn’t how she envisioned things would turn out, but Meghan knows the truth and will tell anyone who will listen that Kate had an edge [over] her.”

The Post has reached out to reps for Prince Harry and Markle for comment on the latest accusations.

Meanwhile, the big wedding debacle of ’18 started when Middleton reportedly told Markle there was an issue with her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

This allegedly led to a series of sobs between the two women.

It was first alleged at the time that it was the Los Angeles native who made Middleton cry, however, in a 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle attempted to set the record straight.

She claimed that it was in fact Middleton who made her shed a few tears.

“The reverse happened,” the Tig creator told the media titan, 69, in the joint chat with Harry.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to — the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” she said.

Markle continued: “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something. But she owned it and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone.”

“I’ve forgiven her,” she added of the aftermath where she buried the hatchet with Middleton.

In “Spare,” Harry also recalled the wedding incident, writing that he found Markle crying on the floor after the University of St. Andrews graduate almost demanded that all of the bridesmaid dresses be remade just a few days before the marriage ceremony.

I am going to answer this point by point so it is long:

Tensions between sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been bubbling ever since the former actress married Prince Harry in 2018, according to some loose-lipped royal watchers.

-No, The Princess of Wales has risen above and done her duty impeccably even when she wanted to deck the b****.

An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex, 41, claimed Middleton, also 41, made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St. George’s Chapel.

-Again with Meghan being UNABLE to let things go. She is going to be talking about this on her death bed. She truly felt that because she cried later, on the floor sobbing where only Harry found her, she was the mistreated one.

Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband, Prince William, 41, still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

-The only reason this “feud” is still making headline is because it is the only way for Meghan to get any attention whatsoever and have her name mentioned in the same sentence as “Princess of Wales.” Also, William and Catherine do not have to take any responsibility for their actions when said actions were more than warranted at the time. Meghan was/is a bully and they stood up to her which is why she is angry. She felt she was educating them on how to live their lives and they told her to bugger off which is incomprehensible to her.

“Meghan feels they’ve never been held accountable for the way they treated her when she was part of the royals, have never apologized and have seemingly got away with it,” an unnamed source dished, according to the Mirror.

-What do they need to apologize for? I believe it was Meghan who bullied Catherine for having “baby brain” and when pointed out to her that was uncalled for and mean, MEGHAN is the one that took offence at having been reprimanded for something SHE DID. She felt it was rude of them to call her out but by God, William and Catherine had better hand over the kings to the kingdom for all of their wrongdoings to Meghan.

The star of the suddenly record-setting TV series “Suits” is also allegedly shocked at the lack of criticism of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

-Oh please…it’s streaming on Netflix and there is literally nothing else to watch right now. Plus I doubt her residuals are anything substantial.

Harry and Markle have hyped numerous projects — such as the Invictus Games founder’s memoir “Spare” and the duo’s Netflix documentary series — in which they spoke out against the United Kingdom’s royal family.

-The one where they didn’t get the Emmy nod…hehehehehe…

Another insider added that Markle was “convinced” the public would be on her side regarding the feud with the Firm.

However, “that hasn’t happened,” according to the self-proclaimed insider.

“This isn’t how she envisioned things would turn out, but Meghan knows the truth and will tell anyone who will listen that Kate had an edge [over] her.”

-No. Meghan was convinced that the BRF would be on her side to begin with, most importantly she wanted William on her side because she wanted him to love/admire her and hate Catherine. When that didn’t happen she turned it as a “me against them” story and in the end she came out the villain instead of the victim. Catherine was ALWAYS going to have an edge over her. Catherine is married to the heir to the throne and will one day be Queen. Just because Meghan thought herself to be better than Catherine didn’t mean others would.

The Post has reached out to reps for Prince Harry and Markle for comment on the latest accusations.

-The will deny or not respond because all of this came from them anyways.

Meanwhile, the big wedding debacle of ’18 started when Middleton reportedly told Markle there was an issue with her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

This allegedly led to a series of sobs between the two women.

It was first alleged at the time that it was the Los Angeles native who made Middleton cry, however, in a 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle attempted to set the record straight.

She claimed that it was in fact Middleton who made her shed a few tears.

“The reverse happened,” the Tig creator told the media titan, 69, in the joint chat with Harry.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to — the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” she said.

“I’ve forgiven her,” she added of the aftermath where she buried the hatchet with Middleton.

-Again she is like a Pit Bull with this story. She will NEVER let it go that people saw her for who she truly is and then didn’t buy her side of the story. She hasn’t and will never forgive Catherine because Catherine was rightfully upset and Meghan was the evil SIL.

In “Spare,” Harry also recalled the wedding incident, writing that he found Markle crying on the floor after the University of St. Andrews graduate almost demanded that all of the bridesmaid dresses be remade just a few days before the marriage ceremony.

-So Givenchy anon claims this is because the dresses were poorly made and Meghan kept changing her mind. This all had nothing to do with Catherine and everything to do with Meghan acting crazy.

Ibrahim I's + harem and children

Consorts:

Haseki Turhan Hatice Sultan later Valide Sultan (?? - 4.8.1683): mother of Mehmed IV and maybe of Fatma Sultan and Atike Sultan as well, she was educated in the palace of Ibrahim’s sister Atike and then gifted to Kösem, to whom she was in service before being presented to the sultan. Probably Russian, Tavernier said in 1668 that she was Circassian instead. She was the last regent of the Ottoman Empire.

Haseki Hatice Muazzez Sultan (?? - 12.9.1687): Ibrahim’s second haseki and mother of the future Ahmed II. Nationality, place and date of birth are unknown. The earliest document that mentions her is dated 9 August 1642, and it is an order of Ibrahim to bring furniture from another mansion for her rooms in the harem. It is not known if she had other children. She never became Valide Sultan as she died in 1687, four years before her son became sultan.

Haseki Saliha Dilaşub Sultan later Valide Sultan (?? - 3.1.1690): origins unknown, she was Ibrahim’s third haseki sultan even though, according to Sakaoğlu, she was the first concubine to be presented to the new sultan. Mother of Süleyman II. She is called Aşübe Sultan in a palace document about some of her jewels. Her country of origin and ethnicity is unknown. Her stipend was higher than the other hasekis’, 1,300 aspers a day, throughout Ibrahim’s reign. It is not known if she had other children.

Haseki Ayşe Sultan: she was first mentioned in a palace document dated January 1645, where it is ordered to prepare the rooms for “the new haseki Ayşe Sultan”. She must have been the fourth haseki. It unknown whether she had children or not.

Haseki Mahienver Sultan: she is mentioned for the first time in a palace document dated 2 May 1646, where che is called “Fifth Haseki Mahienver Sultan”. It is unknown whether she had children or not.

Haseki Saçbağlı Sultan: she is mentioned as recipient of the treasury of Egypt in an undated document. She is traditionally considered the sixth haseki. It is unknown whether she had children or not.

Haseki Şivekâr Sultan (? - 1693): seventh haseki, she was allegedly the largest woman in the empire, weighing 150 kg. Armenian, she was Ibrahim’s true favourite for some time and even influenced the politics of the empire. It is not known whether she had children or not.

Haseki Hümaşah Sultan: eighth haseki, she is sometimes called telli haseki or simply haseki sultan, as she was the sultan’s wedded wife. She entered the harem only in 1647 but Ibrahim fell in love with her immediately and married her in a lavish ceremony. She received the palace of Ibrahim Paşa as a wedding gift, while Kosem’s daughter Ayşe, Fatma and Hanzade and Murad IV’s daughter Kaya Ismihan were ordered by the sultan to serve her. Hümaşah was mother to Sehzade Orhan, who died in infancy six months after Ibrahim’s execution.

Hubyar Hatun: wife of İbrahim Ağa, brother of Grand Vizier Ahmed Paşa, she took Ibrahim’s fancy for a while. Uluçay, on the other hand, believes she was a servant in the harem.

Şekerpare Hatun (? - 1649?): thought to be a harem servant by Naime, she was probably the High Treasurer of the harem. She held great influence over Ibrahim for a time and, together with Hubyar and Yahudi Harun, she used to take bribes in exchange for favours. Two months before Ibrahim’s dethronement, her wealth was confiscated and she was exiled to Egypt. There, according to Evliya Çelebi, she married Kara Musa Paşa. In Tarih-i Gılmani, it is said that matters of state were left to Cinci Hoca and Şekerpare Kadın, who caused great ruin in the empire.

Zafire Hatun: Georgian concubine, she became pregnant by Ibrahim during Murad IV’s reign, so Kösem Sultan gave her to the Chief Black Eunuch Sünbül Ağa so that he drowned her in the sea. Instead, the eunuch took her to his home where she had a son, whom she named Osman. The baby became known in Istanbul as “the bastard of the Chief Black Eunuch” and when Kösem Sultan found out, she exiled them all. On the route to Egypt, they were captured at sea and taken to Malta, where the child was declared an Ottoman Prince. Later on, he converted to Christianity and became a priest known as “Padre Ottomano” (in English: Father Ottoman). According to the Venetian ambassador who related this story, the tensions between the Ottoman government and the Venetians in 1645 were caused by this incident. It is not known what happened to Zafire.

Sakızula: shown by Alderson as one of Ibrahim’s consorts.

Hezarpare Ahmed Paşa’s wife: one of Ibrahim’s passing fancies, she was given Princess Beyhan Sultan to raise. According to Alderson, Hezarpare Ahmed Paşa was given the little princess as a wife in return.

daughter of Şeyhülislam Mu'id Ahmed Efendi: according to A. L. Castellan, Ibrahim wanted her but her father opposed it so the sultan had her kidnapped from the baths and later sent her back home.

A month later, her father married her to Musahib Fazlı Paşa, whom he removed from Istanbul a couple of months later. She died in 1657 and was buried in the Yeni Valide Mosque.

Gevherhan Sultan (1642 - 27.10.1694): she married Cafer Paşa on 23 November 1646. According to Alderson and Süreyya, she was married to Çavuşzade Mehmed Paşa instead until 1681. In 1692, she married Helvacı Yusuf Paşa.

Family of Bayezid II (quite big lol)

+1 information about the daughter of Mahmud, Ayşe:  She surely was still alive between November 1555 and November 1556 since she is listed in Old Palace register with a daily stipend of 70 aspers. 

The same 70 apsers daily stipend was given to Sehzade Ahmed’s unnamed daughter. We dont know if this stands for Kamer, Fatma or the unknown daughter.

About his daughters:

Selcuk Sultan 1459-1508 - mother unknown - she married twice: 1/Ferhad Bey in 1484; 2/Mehmed Bey in 1486 - she had five children: 1/ Nesl-i Şah who died in 1564, she married Halil Paşa in 1510; 2/Gaazi Husrev Bey who was governor of Sarajevo, which he developed into a great city, then he was governor of Smederevo (1521), governor of Bosnia (1526-1533), then governor of Belgrade in 1533 and again governor of Bosnia from 1536 to 1541. He died in Sarajevo and was buried there. 3/ Hanzade who married her cousin, a son of Ilaldi Sultan 4/ unnamed princess who married the son of Halil Paşa (her eldest sister’s husband) in 1510; 5/unnamed princess who married twice, the first time to Grand Vizier Yunus Pasha and the second time to Defterdar Mehmed Çelebi (later Grand Vezier and Egypt governor)

Ayşe Sultan 1465 - after 1515 - she may have been sister to Şehzade Ahmed or to Şehzade Korkut. Ahmed was born in 1466 Korkud in 1467 so Ayşe surely was born before them. - she married Güvegi Sinan Pasha in 1480 and had several (at least 6) children but we don’t have information about each one of them: 1/ GevherŞah who married one İbrahim Bey 2/ KamerŞah who married the son of Grand Vizier Mesih Paşa 3/ Fatma who married another son of Grand Vizier Mesih Paşa 4/ Ahmed Bey; 5/ Mustafa Bey; 6/Hanzade Ayşe Mihrihan who later married Dukaginzade Sultanzade Mehmed Paşa and had a daughter Mihri Hatun, who surely was alive between 1555 November and 1556 November. - she built a mosque and a school in Gallipoli and in 1505 she established a foundation

Hatice Sultan 1465 - 1500 - the identity of her mother is unknown - she married to 1/ Müderris Kara Mustafa Pasha around 1479 and had two children with him: Ahmed Çelebi (1480?-1500) and Hanzade; 2/ she married Faik Pasha after 1483 - she built a mosque, school and fountain in Edirnekapi - she was buried in Bursa in the Hatice Sultan Tomb, built by her son

Gevherimülük Sultan 1467 - 1550 - mother unknown - she married to Ahmed Pasha and had 2 children: 1/ Nesli Şahwho died in 1559, she married Dukaginzade Iskender Pasha; 2/ Mehmed Pasha who died in 1557, was governor of Aleppo and Egypt, he married his cousin Ayşe Hanzade Mihrihan, daughter of Ayşe Sultan - she built a school near the Zal Mahmud Pasha Mosque, and she was buried there

Şehzade Hundi Sultan 1465(?) - 1511 - some suggest a birth date of 1470 but it is not correct as she was the daughter of Bülbül Hatun and so Şehzade Ahmed’s sister. Ahmed was born in 1466 so Hundi had to be born before him. - Hersekzade Ahmed Pasha was her husband from 1484 and had children with him: 1/ Mustafa Bey who was governor of Bozok and died in 1533 killed by rebels in his province; 2/ HümaŞah who died after 1551; 3/ Musa Bey

Ilaldi Sultan ? - before 1518 - mother unknown - she had two children with her husband Hain Ahmed Pasha: 1/Aynişah who died after 1531 and married Abdüsselam Çelebi; 2/ unnamed son who married his cousin, the unnamed daughter of Selçuk Sultân - she wrote a congratulation letter to Selim I

Aynişah Sultan  1464(?) - after 1512 - daughter of Şirin Hatun and sister of Şehzade Abdullah (b. 1465) - she married Akkoyunlu Damad Göde Ahmed Bey in 1490 and had children: 1/ Hanzade who married to Yahyapaşazade Gaazi Küçük Bali Paşa; 2/ unnamed princess who married Şehzade Alaeddin, one of Şehzade Ahmed’s sons - she built a school in Istanbul and established a foundation in 1506 - she sent letters of congratulations to Selim I when he became sultan

Hüma/Hümaşah Sultan ? - after 1504 - mother unknown - she married Antalyalı Bali Paşa around 1482 - she was buried in Bursa

Kamer/Kamerşah Sultan ? - ? - she was the daughter of Gülruh Hatun - she was married to Damad Nişanci Kara Davud Pasha, with whom she had a daughter who later married one Mesih Bey. - she was buried in the tomb of her mother in Bursa

Şah/Şehzade Şah Sultan ? - after 1506 - her mother is unknown - she married Nasuh Bey around 1490 and had a daughter - she was involved in charity - she built a mosque in 1506 - she was buried in her sister Hatice’s mausoleum in Bursa

Sofu Fatma Sultan 1466(?) - after 1515 - she was the daughter of Nigar Hatun and sister of Şehzade Korkut and since  Korkut was born in 1467 so actually Sofu Fatma should born even before 1464/5/6. - she married Güzelce Hasan Bey around 1504 and had two children with him: 1/ Mehmed Çelebi who later married Ayse Sultan daughter of Şehzade Alemşah; 2/ unnamed daughter who later married Ahmed Bey, son of Ali Bey and Fatma Hanımsultan - about her marriages it is possible she had a first marriage which is not listed by most historians (she would be too old for a first marriage in 1504). She should have a first marriage around the early 1480's. About the identity of the first hubby: Öztuna claims Sofu Fatma's firs husband was İsfendiyâroğlu (Cândâroğlu) Mirza Mehmed Pasha, son of Kyzyl Ahmed Bey. Öztuna gives no marriage date. The problem is, Fatma remarried in 1504 but the pasha was alive until 1530. I don't see why would they divorce, so well I don't know. Öztuna claims they had a son, Mehmed Bey, together who later married Selim I's daughter Gevherhan. Its fine Fatma's son Mehmed did marry Gevherhan okay. But then why would she name her second son also Mehmed? Because she had a son Mehmed from her second marriage who married Ayse Sultan daughter of Şehzade Alemşah. So just why 2 Mehmeds? I dunno this... Maybe one of the names is mistaken?  - she was charitable --> left all her possession to the poor when she died - she was buried in the tomb of her half-brother Şehzade Ahmed in Bursa

Sultanzade Sultan ? - ? - daughter of Hüsnüşah Hatun and sister of Şehzade Alemşah

HEADCANNONS

LIFE IN THE HAREM  —  it is all she has ever known, to be surrounded by love and women who filled her with an inflated ego, a currency known for her beauty and the dulcet tones fit for a woman of her standing. Due to such an upbringing she did not grow up to hate the woman who tore her father’s attention away from herself and her mother, but loyalty was wedged in deep between muscle and bone! The loyalty she upholds for her mother and older brother know no bounds, and may someday be her undoing if the next Sultan does not carry her true blood. 

EDUCATION  —  Educated well, Mihrimah may have made a good Sultan if she had been born a boy. Nonetheless,  she used her feminine whims to her advantage. Though, it is perhaps childish to flaunt such beauty in the eyes of men who see it as all they want. With dance and music, she expresses herself - long, delicate fingers playing to the tune to all who dare to listen. Such culture is praised amongst the women of the palace and the Osman dynasty, but Mihrimah plans to use such skills on many unsuspecting men - to wean out the weak from the strong, to unveil the ones who plan to betray her older brother or her father. She is, in her eyes even, a grand piece to the Sultan’s chessboard - if only he plans to use her more often. Her education has provided her with the gumption to take the reigns of an already crowded steps to the throne, but she does not desire such responsibility as of yet. Instead, she seeks to use her tongue (trained in many a language, that may leave the educated advisers of the Western realms at unease). She plans to take to Portugal as an envoy, to act as her father’s spy if needs will it. Though perhaps a spy is far too generous a word since she is not a coy woman and often boasts of her powers and natural features as if there was not an eye to see it. 

MUSIC & DANCE — Though music and dance is a passion well-loved by the Sultana, Mihrimah has always found time and obsession with weaving. Her talent is famous amongst the noble ladies of the Ottoman Empire, and often she will display her woven beauties to the visitors and courtiers who peek with nosey eyes. Back within the palace she rarely took a toe outside, the Sultana has her own rooms lined with her art. She is known for it, but some may whisper that she is doomed to spend her life weaving rather than living - such cruel rumours are only laughed off by the Sultana, even if the question of her future hangs heavy around her neck. 

LOYALTY — The loyalty she ties to her older brother is immovable. Such trust was born when the two children grew together, sharing tutors and governesses as they ran through the various halls of various estates. To say she loves him is misunderstood, she adores him. To her, he is her Sultan - above their father, and above their mother. But with such love comes danger; if she is to choose between the two men, who should she lay her allegiance with? 

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

friends overseas (pen-pals, frenemies, bffs, the lot!), enemies she may sulk around, boys she commands for her own use, allegiances made for her brother the sehzade, allies she may count on to spread her own influence, and perhaps someone who can take her from simple daughter to wife and consort of the utmost importance.

[fatihdaily]

Did Mehmed have sisters ? Or brothers ?

Yes, he had.

Firstly, Alderson lists 5 (+ one uncertain) brothers and 6 sisters.

He provides only one name for the eldest sister on his list, Fatma, but lists the names of almost all brothers: Ahmed (Elder), Alaeddin Ali, Hasan, Orhan, Ahmed (Younger) and only one unnamed.

Uluçay lists 4 daughters of Murad II and provides the following names: Erhondu, Fatma, Hatice and Şehzade. I will now try to provide some information on the siblings.

Note 1: Even after carrying out extensive research, it is hard to provide a lot of information in cases of women and children who die young in that era. Daughters were often not even recorded and if they were most common information was birth and death dates and marriages. Often even names are lost.

Note 2: Sources are behind the cut

Brothers 

Ahmed (Elder)  [Büyük Ahmed] - He was born in 1420. He was appointed governor of Amasya, where he died unexpectedly in 1437. Mehmed succeeded him as Amasya’s governor.

Alaeddin Ali -  born in 1430. John Freely in his biography of Mehmed II mentions that Ali’s mother was Murad II’s favourite wife, Hatice Halime Hatun. Ali first served as governor of Manisa, then in 1439 Murad II decided to switch Mehmed and Alaeddin, so that Alaeddin got sent to Amasya, and Mehmed to Manisa. Ali was said to be Murad II’s favourite son and was described as “distinguished by courage and astuteness” and “powerful physique that (…) called for admiration” (Babinger). In 1443, Ali was summoned by his father to join him on a campaign. After the campaign ended, he parted with Murad in Bursa, after which a mysterious tragedy took place. Kara Hizir Pasha was sent to Amasya after the prince and strangled Ali in his own bed, together with his two young sons, aged six and eighteen months. Babinger notes that Western and Ottoman sources stress that Murad was in great pain after the loss of Ali. He also requested to be buried next to his favourite son after his death. Alderson lists the deaths of Ali and his sons as possible executions and suggests Murad II might have ordered the death of his son and grandsons. On the other hand, Freely makes a suggestion that Ali’s murder might have been ordered by someone wanting to clear the way to the throne for Mehmed. Nothing is however proven, the only certain thing is that s a result of this mysterious and unresolved tragedy Mehmed became the heir to the throne. 

Hasan - we only know that he was born in 1444.

Orhan - we only know that he died in 1451, the year Mehmed II ascended the throne. However, Alderson lists him as possible execution, not a certain one as in case of Ahmed (the Younger). Alderson makes a note that he should not be confused with Şehzade Orhan, who was a son of Bayezid I and was held as a hostage in Byzantium.

Ahmed (the Younger) [Küçük Ahmed] - he was born in 1450 and was executed upon the order of his brother when Mehmed ascended the throne. Hiis mother was Hatice Halime Hatun. When Mehmed was talking with Hatice Halime Hatun, one of his men was strangling his half-brother in the bath. Mehmed then married Hatice Halime to Ishak Bey, beylerbey of Anatolia. Freely comments that Küçük Ahmed was the last of Mehmed’s brothers, so it can be deduced that Hasan and Orhan had died by the time of Ahmed’s execution. Alderson mentions that the Court was so shocked by what happened to the fifteen-month-old child that Mehmed put the blame on the person who had executed his order and sentenced him to death.

Unnamed - Alderson provides only death date in 1496, but states the existence of this brother is very unlikely, and the person mentioned in documents is likely a son of another member of the dynasty than Murad II.

Sisters

Erhondu - she was married to Yakup Bey. We do not know her date of birth, marriage, death or whether she had children, only that she died before her husband. 

Fatma - again, no death or birth dates provided. Babinger and Alderson state that her husband was Zaganos Mehmed Pasha, but Uluçay states it is wrong and based on archives from Bursa documenting people living there provides that her husband was in fact Çandarlı Ibrahim Pasha and they had a son called Mehmed Celebi.

Hatice - we know nothing about her except name and that she is buried in Bursa next to her father. Possibly one of unnamed sisters listed below.

Şehzade - wife of Sinan Bey. She founded a village in Yenişehir in her husband’s name and a soup kitchen in Edirne in her name. Şehzade also founded a vakf in her village that offered help to people in Holy Cities. Uluçay states she died in 1480 and was buried in Sultan Alâeddin’s tomb. It is possible that she was one of the unnamed daughters of Murad II listed by Alderson, since Alderson has one unnamed daughter married to Koca Sinan Pasha, and Babinger once mentions that a reference to certain Sinan Bey could mean Koca Sinan Pasha, a husband to one of Mehmed’s sisters and the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire for two years. Alderson provides the date of death for this sister as 1486.

Unnamed sister - married in 1440 Emir Kemaleddin Ismail, son of Ibrahim II of Karaman and Selçuk Hatun, daughter of Mehmed I (grandfather of Mehmed II) with whom she had two sons: Hasan and Yahya.

Unnamed sister - married to Kasim Kavameddin, uncle to Emir Kemaleddin Ismail.

Unnamed sister -  married to a certain Mehmed, son of Haran.

Unnamed sister - married Isa Bey in 1470. Angiolello calls her a “mad sadist”. Babinger speculates she could be a full sister of Mehmed, thus Hüma Hatun’s daughter.

49 killed in mass shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand

https://embed-prod.vemba.io/vemba-embed.js

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — At least 49 people have been killed and 20 seriously injured after mass shootings at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch Friday, in a carefully planned and unprecedented attack that has shocked the usually peaceful nation.

New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, called the incident a terrorist attack in a Friday press conference, saying the suspects held “extremist views” that have no place in New Zealand or the world.

Forty-one people were killed at the al Noor mosque on Deans Avenue, said Mike Bush, New Zealand’s Police Commissioner. Seven people died at the Linwood mosque on Linwood Avenue, and one person died from their injuries in hospital.

Both mosques are in Christchurch city center. Police placed the two locations on lockdown.

A total of 48 patients, including young children with gunshot wounds, were admitted to Christchurch hospital for treatment.

Bush said four people were taken into custody — three men and one woman. Police do not believe there are any other suspects but said it was still an open investigation.

Bush said a male in his late 20s has been charged with murder and will appear at the Christchurch court Saturday morning local time.

One of the four detained at the scene was in possession of firearms but police said they may have had nothing to do with incident. Two others were also arrested in possession of firearms and police are still trying to understand their involvement, Bush said. None of the four had been on any security watch lists prior to the attack.

Two improvised explosive devices were attached to a vehicle as part of the attack. One device has been disabled and authorities are working on the other.

“This goes to the seriousness of the situation,” Bush said.

A number of weapons were also recovered at both the Linwood and Dean Avenue locations.

Police were still treating the incident as ongoing into Friday evening local time and urged Christchurch residents to stay indoors and monitor the police website and social media.

The situation was also considered not limited to Christchurch, and Bush asked “anyone who was thinking of going to a mosque anywhere in New Zealand today not to go. To close your doors until you hear from us again.”

Police also evacuated properties close to a “location of interest” in the southern city of Dunedin, some 225 miles from Christchurch late Friday night local time.

In a press conference, Prime Minister Ardern described the attack as “one of New Zealand’s darkest days.”

“What has happened here is an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence,” she said, adding that the attackers have “no place in New Zealand.”

“For now my thoughts and I’m sure the thoughts of all New Zealanders are with those who are being affected and with the families,” she said.

Police said they have mobilized every national police resource to respond to the incident.

Attack broadcast live on social media

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that at least one of those taken into custody is Australian. He said the shooting was the work of a “extremist right wing, violent terrorist” at a press conference Friday.

Morrison said he has asked for flags to be flown at half-mast out of respect for those killed in the attack.

“Australians stand with all New Zealanders today during this dark time where hate and violence has stolen their peace and innocence. Kia kaha (stay strong),” Morrison tweeted earlier.

Ardern confirmed that one of the attackers was Australian.

Authorities said they “will not be discussing the offenders’ possible motivations or the causes of this incident” at this stage.

However, in a social media post just before the attack, an account that is believed to belong to one of the attackers posted a link to an 87-page manifesto that was filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim ideas and explanations for an attack. The manifesto was not signed.

In addition, police are aware of a video shared online and broadcast live during the attack, which purports to show a gunman walking into an unnamed mosque and opening fire.

“We would strongly urge that the (video) link not be shared. We are working to have any footage removed,” the New Zealand police said.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Facebook New Zealand, Mia Garlick, said videos that appeared to show the Christchurch shootings were quickly taken down.

“New Zealand Police alerted us to a video on Facebook shortly after the livestream commenced and we removed both the shooter’s Facebook account and the video. We’re also removing any praise or support for the crime and the shooter or shooters as soon as we’re aware,” she said.

CNN has not been able to independently confirm any information about any of the attackers and the alleged video at this stage.

Gunman opened fire ‘for 10 to 15 minutes”

Armed police were deployed after first receiving reports of the shootings at 1:40 p.m. Friday local time. It is the busiest day for many mosques around the world when Muslims convene for Friday prayers.

Speaking to CNN, witness Mohan Ibn Ibrahim said he was inside the mosque when the shooting began and that he heard the gunman “continuously shooting for 10 to 15 minutes.”

“It’s a big mosque and there were more than 200 people inside. The gunmen came from the backside. Gunshots went on for a long time. We had to jump the wall to escape. I saw lots of broken glass and bricks on the backside of the mosque,” he said.

“I came to the street I saw one person got shot on his chest,” he said, adding that the ambulance and police then arrived on the scene.

He said that he had a friend in another mosque in the area who told him a gunman had opened fire there as well and five people were dead.

“I could not contact two of my friends who are in the mosque as well,” he said.

One witness, who did not want to be named, said he was driving by the scene and saw a man with a “with his 3- or 4-year-old daughter” who had been shot in the back.

“He was screaming like get her to the hospital and the ambulance couldn’t come in until it was secured so I just got my truck and loaded up him, and his daughter, and this other guy had been shot in the leg, and took them to the hospital,” he said.

One man outside the mosque said that he prayed that the gunman would “run out of bullets.”

“I was thinking that he must run out bullets you know, so what I did was basically waiting and praying to God, oh God please let this guy run out of bullets,” he said. He said a man told him to remain still and then gunman shot the man “straight in the chest.”

School lockdown lifted

Christchurch was put on lockdown, with all schools and council buildings shut and roads closed across the city.

By 6 p.m. local time New Zealand police said the lockdown on schools had been lifted.

The shooting at the mosque on Deans Avenue next to Hagely Park, is near to Cathedral Square, where children were taking part in a global protest to raise awareness for climate change.

“If your child was attending the climate change protest in Cathedral Square and you want to check if they are in the Civic Offices, please call the Council Contact Centre on 03-941-8999,” Christchurch City Council said.

Christchurch is a coastal city of 404,500 residents. It is the third most populous city in New Zealand behind Auckland and Wellington. It has an agricultural economy.

In 2010 and 2011 the city suffered a series of devastating earthquakes, with the most destructive at 6.3 magnitude, which killed nearly 200 people and destroyed thousands of buildings.

Just 1% of New Zealand’s population of almost five million are Muslim, according to government statistics, less than 50,000 people in 2013.

Journalist Chris Lynch, a radio host on New Zealand station ZB Radio, told CNN that one of the shootings had occurred at “the biggest mosque in all of Christchurch.”

He described Christchurch as a “very peaceful city” that is still getting over the devastating 6.3 magnitude earthquake that hit in 2011.

“That (earthquake) brought all the skyscraper buildings down and this is one of the reasons why people are fearful, I feel,” he told CNN.

Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, has tweeted his condolences to the victims of the attack, and confirmed that there will be “highly visible” and armed police around mosques in the UK capital on Friday.

“I want to reassure the Muslim communities in London. I have been in touch with the Met Police. There will be highly visible policing around mosques today, as well as armed response officers, as Londoners go to pray,” he said.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May sent her “deepest condolences” in a tweet.

“My thoughts are with all of those affected by this sickening act of violence,” she wrote.

[ottomanladies]

Could paşa's reject marriage proposals like kuloğlu mustafa paşa did with ibrahim's daughter? Wasn't there any consequences while saying no to a dynasty member? And is it known why he refused to marry unnamed daughter of ibrahim?

Hello!

Unfortunately Alderson didn’t source it, so I can’t check if his source expanded on that. He only said “She was offered first to 2338 Kuloğlu Mustafa, but he refused the honor at that time; later he was persuaded to marry 1202 Hadice”

Hadice is Mehmed IV’s daughter Hatice Sultan who married Musahip Mustafa Paşa, son of Kuloğlu Süleyman Ağa so called Kuloğlu MustafaPaşa as well.

[ottomanladies]

Hello, can you give me some information about Bayezid II's grandchildren? What was their situation during the reigns of Selim I and Suleiman? Did Suleiman treat them like his sisters? Were their positions equal to those of Selim's daughters?

Bayezid II had many children and even more grandchildren so this is going to be quite long. I think I have found some interesting ones, though.

Şehzade Abdullâh

He had three children but only one seems to have survived long enough to live in Süleyman I's reign: Şâh-nisâ Sultân. There is no date of death for her, but both her sons had appointments under Süleyman I:

Dâmâd Sultân-zâde "Şemsî" Ahmed Paşa: died in 1580, he was brought up in the Palace, became commander of the sipahi, then governor of Damascus, Rumelia and Anatolia. He participated in the Siege of Szigetvár, during which Suleyman I died. He became a vizier, but I don't know when. He had a son, Mahmûd Paşa, who was appointed governor of Şehrizor in 1578.

Sultân-zâde Mustafâ Paşa: died on 25 May 1569, he was a commander and third vizier during the 1566 Malta expedition. Afterwards, he went on holy pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, where he died.

Şehzâde Ahmed

Selim I's big challenger to the throne. His sons were all executed by their uncle, but his daughters survived: Kamer Sultân, who married a grandson of the famous İskender Paşa; Fatma Sultan, who married the son of Grand Vizier Koca Dâvud Paşa; and an unnamed princess, who married Süleyman Bey, a silahdar. It is unknown if they had any descendants.

Şehzâde Korkut

His sons were executed by Selim I, but his daughters survived:

Fatma Sultan: she married Alî Bey, governor of Kara (?). Having died after 1528, she lived into Süleyman I's reign.

Ferah-şâd Sultan: she married firstly Dâmâd Malkoçoğlu ‘Alî Bey and then Dâmâd Mehmed Balı Efendi. One of her granddaughters married firstly Sinân Paşa and then Güzelce Mahmûd Paşa.

Şehzâde Mahmûd

Hançerli Fatma Sultan: died around 1533, she married Dâmâd Mehmed Bey and had two sons with him, Sultân-zâde Kaasim Bey and Sultân-zâde Mustafa Bey

Ayşe Hundi Sultan: she married Dâmâd Ferruh Bey and had a daughter with him, Mihr-i Hân Hanım-Sultân

Şehzâde Mehmed

had a son who died in 1512 and a daughter: Fatma Sultan, who died in 1556. Nothing else is known about her.

Şehzâde Alem-Şâh

He had three children, a son executed in 1512 and two daughters:

Ayşe Sultan: died after 1520, she married her cousin, Sultân-zâde Dâmâd Mehmed Çelebî (son Fatma Sultan, daughter of Bayezid II)

Fatma Sultan: died after 1520, she was buried next to her father in Bursa. It is unknown if she was ever married.

Selçuk Sultan

twice married, she had five children:

Nesl-i Şâh Hanım-Sultân: died in 1564, she married Halîl Paşa in 1510

Sultân-zâde Gaazî Husrev Bey/Paşa: Öztuna hails him as "one of the greatest soldiers in the XVI century", he was governor of Sarajevo, which he developed into a great city. He was also responsible for spreading Islam in that part of Europe. He was also governor of Smederevo (1521), governor of Bosnia (1526-1533), then governor of Belgrade in 1533 and again governor of Bosnia from 1536 to 1541. He died in Sarajevo and was buried there.

With her second husband, Selçuk Sultan had:

Hân-zâde Hanım-Sultân: she married her cousin, a son of İlaldı Sultan (daughter of Bayezid II)

unnamed princess: she married the son of Halîl Paşa (her eldest sister's husband) in 1510

unnamed princess: she married twice, the first time to Grand Vizier Yûnus Paşa and the second time to Defterdâr Mehmed Çelebî, who would become Grand Vizier to Selim I for seven months. Afterwards, he became the first governor of Egypt and later governor of Damascus.

Ayşe Sultan

she had several children but we don't have information about each one of them, just some:

Gevher-Şâh Hanım-Sultân: she married one İbrahim Bey

Kamer-Şâh Hanım-Sultân: she married the son of Grand Vizier Mesîh Paşa

Fatma Hanım-Sultân: she married another son of Grand Vizier Mesîh Paşa

why the exclamation points, you may ask. Well, because one of her sons was Selim II's closest companion, which angered the other men at court

Sultân-zâde Hacı Ahmed Paşa: brought up in the Palace, he was governor of Damascus and Karaman, vizier, and Selim II's closest companion. He was deeply trusted by Murad III as well. He died in 1588.

Refia was extremely educated, like her sisters, as her father had insisted for them to be educated both in traditional and western subjects.

Behice Sultan (1848-1876), with Nesrin Hanım: she lost her mother at the age of 3 and contracted tuberculosis in childhood. She lived secluded all her life and her sisters Refia and Seniha always sent her letters to cheer her up, even though they knew that Behice's illness had reached the final stage by the time she had turned 20. In her letters, Behice came across as frustrated, jealous of her sisters' freedom and extremely sensitive. Her dowry had been prepared by her father but her illness always prevented her from getting married, even though that was her dream. Finally, her uncle Abdülaziz consented, and Behice married Dâmâd Halil Hamîd Beyefendi on 16 November 1876. Unfortunately, the princess died just 20 days later at the age of 28.

Seniha and her husband participated in the Ali Suavi Incident, actually a conspiracy to dethrone Abdulhamid II and re-instate Murad V, the failure of which - among other things - prompted Celaleddîn Paşa to leave the Ottoman empire and settle in Bruxelles. Together, they had two sons: Sultân-zâde Mehmed Sabâhaddîn Beyefendi (1877-1948) and Sultân-zâde Ahmed Lutfullâh Beyfendi (1880-1973). Her son Sabâhaddîn was a vocal critic of Abdülhamid II's regime and was actually the leader of a faction inside the Young Turks movement which advocated some of the same liberal principles of the CUP but instead favoured administrative decentralization and European assistance. At the time of the Dynasty's exile from Turkey, Seniha Sultan was the eldest princess alive. She lived with Mehmed VI in Sanremo until his death, then moved to Nice, where the last Caliph Abdülmecid II had settled down but was not in favour because she was part of the "Mecid branch" of the family.

When Abdülhamid II found out, he sent Necib Bey at the embassy in Paris. Mediha was devastated: she would not drink, eat or sleep. Her step-mother Verdicenan asked Rahime Perestu Valide Sultan's help, and together they were able to convince Abdülhamid to let the princess marry Necib Bey, which she did in 1879. Mediha had a son with him, Sultân-zâde 'Abdurrahmân Sâmî Beyefendi (1880-1961), but her happiness was short-lived: her husband died in 1885 at the age of 29.

If these seven do not go, they will utterly destroy the household of my son, your servant”. Alemşah would die because of heavy drinking, and Gülruh Hatun retired to Bursa.

Hello!

Hanzade Sultan - Kösem’s daughter, she was born in 1608/1609, in 1623 she married Bayram Ağa, who became Bayram Paşa, but was widowed in 1638. According to Alderson, she then married Nakkaş Mustafa Paşa in 1643, but Uluçay is doubtful of this. She was one of the princesses forced to serve Humaşah. She died on 23 September 1650 and was buried in Ibrahim I’s mausoleum.

Atike Sultan - the identity of her mother and her date of birth are unknown. She married Kenan Paşa in 1633, but was widowed in 1652. In the same year she married Doğancı Yusuf Paşa, who died in 1670. Her date of death is uncertain: according to Sakaoğlu she died before 1670 but Uluçay says she died young. She was buried in Ibrahim I’s mausoleum.

Abide Sultan - she was born in the 1610s, mother unknown. She is called Ubeyde in Sicill-i Osmani. She married Küçük Musa Paşa in 1641 but was widowed in 1647. She is buried in Ahmed I’s mausoleum.

Kösem Sultan - according to Alderson, one of Ahmed’s daughters was called Kösem as well. She was born in 1605 and in 1612 she married Nasuh Paşa but died 1 month later, at 6 years old. Nasuh Paşa subsequently married Ayse Sultan.

Unnamed Sultan - according to Alderson, she was married to Şehit Ali Paşa, who died in 1624.

I don’t know of any Hatice, born to Ahmed I, sorry.

I couldn’t find any children for these princesses, but Ayşe had a son named Sultanzade Mehmed Bey, who died in 1628. Gevherhan had a daughter called Safiye Hanimsultan, born in 1630.

Ahmed’s sisters…. oh boy. We don’t have their names, unfortunately, and it’s so annoying. Mehmed III’s reign is so obscure, genealogy-wise? I hate it so much, genealogy is what interests me the most about the ottomans: who was married to whom, how many children they had, what were their names, etc etc

Anyway,

Unnamed Sultan - according to Sakaoğlu and Alderson, she was Handan’s daughter - and Ahmed’s full sister. She married Kara Davud Paşa in 1604. It’s not clear whether she was alive in 1622, during Osman II’s deposition. According to Sir Thomas Roe, Davud plotted to put his son with her on the throne instead of Mustafa.

Unnamed Sultan - she was married to Ali Paşa, who died in 1617. According to Hammer, she was actually Ahmed’s daughter and not his sister, but the Austrian ambassador said, when he met Ali Paşa in 1616: “He is a self-respecting, liberal and Christian-like person, who is 50 years old, and married to the sister of the Turkish ruler,”

Unnamed Sultan - she married Mirahur Mustafa Paşa in November 1604. According to Öztuna, her name was Hatice.

Unnamed Sultan - she married Cigalazade Sinan Paşa’s son Mahmud Bey in 1612

Unnamed Sultan - she was married to Tiryaki Hasan Paşa, who died in 1611.

Unnamed Sultan - she died in 1628

Unfortunately we don’t know the mothers to any of these princesses :(
