List of heirs since 1922
The Ottoman dynasty was expelled from Turkey in 1924 and most members took on the surname Osmanoğlu, meaning “son of Osman.”[19] The female members of the dynasty were allowed to return after 1951,[19] and the male members after 1973.[20] Below is a list of people who would have been heirs to the Ottoman throne following the abolition of the sultanate on 1 November 1922.[20] These people have not necessarily made any claim to the throne; for example, Ertuğrul Osman said “Democracy works well in Turkey.”[21]
- Mehmed VI Vahideddin, last Ottoman Sultan (1918–1922) then 36th Head of the House of Osman in exile (1922–1926).[20]
- Abdulmejid II, last Ottoman Caliph (1922–1924) then 37th Head of the House of Osman following Mehmed VI Vahideddin’s death (1926–1944).[20]
- Ahmed IV Nihad, 38th Head of the House of Osman (1944–1954), grandson of Sultan Murad V.[20]
- Osman IV Fuad, 39th Head of the House of Osman (1954–1973), half-brother of Ahmed IV Nihad.[20]
- Mehmed Abdulaziz II, 40th Head of the House of Osman (1973–1977), grandson of Sultan Abdülaziz I.[20]
- Ali I Vâsib, 41st Head of the House of Osman (1977–1983), son of Ahmed IV Nihad.[20]
- Mehmed Orhan II, 42nd Head of the House of Osman (1983–1994), grandson of Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[22]
- Ertuğrul II Osman V Osmanoğlu, 43rd Head of the House of Osman (1994–2009), grandson of Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[21]
- Bayezid III Osman Osmanoğlu, 44th Head of the House of Osman (2009–2017), great-grandson of Sultan Abdulmejid I.[23]
- Dündar I Ali II Osman VI Osmanoğlu, 45th Head of the House of Osman (2017–present), great-grandson of Sultan Abdul Hamid II.
