ISTANBUL, Turkey, April 4 (UPI) -- Nesliash Sultan, an Ottoman princess who married an Egyptian prince, has died in Istanbul at the age of 91, her family said.
Sultan was the last member of the Ottoman dynasty to be born before the empire was disbanded in 1922 and modern Turkey created in its place, Bikyamasr.com reported.
Her family was forced into exile in 1924 and only female members were allowed to return to Turkey until 1974 when the exile of males was ended.
Sultan spent her childhood and adolescence in France before moving to Egypt where she married Prince Muhammad Abdel Monem Beyefendi.
While living in Egypt, Sultan was forced into exile a second time in 1953 when the Egyptian monarchy was abolished and she and her husband were accused of plotting against the country's leader.
Sultan and her husband moved to Istanbul in 1957. He died in 1979.
Their son, Abbas Hilmi, retains the title of Egyptian prince.
