Biography

Hayriye Hanımsultan was born in June 1846.[1] Her father was Damat Mehmed Ali Pasha, son of Elhac Ömer Agha,[2] and her mother was Adile Sultan, daughter of Sultan Mahmud II and Zernigâr Hanım.[3] She had three full siblings, Sultanzade Isma'il Bey, Sıdıka Hanımsultan, Aliye Hanımsultan, of whom all died in infancy.[4][5][6] She had a half-brother, Mahmud Edhem Pasha, who married Sultan Abdulmejid I's daughter, Refia Sultan,[1] and one half-sister, Hatice Hanım.[7] She took her piano lessons from Turkish composer, poet and writer Leyla Saz.[8]

On 10 June 1865,[9] she was betrothed to Ahmed Rıfat Bey, son of Mehmed Kani Pasha.[10] However, six months later the engagement was broken off. According to one source, Kani Pasha, who was known for his arrogance, didn't wanted to present an expensive gift to the princess.[9] According to another source, she was in love with Ali Rıza Bey, son of İşkodralı Mustafa Şerif Pasha.[9] After the engagement was broken off, Ahmed Rıfat Bey's military service was terminated. He was then sent to Saint Petersburg.[9]

On 17 April 1866, she married Ali Rıza Bey.[11] The wedding took place on 22 April 1866 in the Kuruçeşme Palace.[12] The couple were given a villa in Çamlıca as their residence.[13] She had two sons and a daughter, but all died in infancy, and several stillbirth.[14] After her father's death in 1868, she built a convent (tekke) near his mausoleum in Eyüp.[15]

She died of tuberculosis on 26 July 1869, and was buried in the mausoleum of her father.[7][9]
