Fazile İbrahim

Sabiha Fazile Hanımsultan (8 August 1941 – 27 September 2024), also called Fazile Ibrahim, was an Egyptian and Ottoman princess, daughter of Prince Mehmed Ali Ibrahim of Egypt and princess Zehra Hanzade Sultan.

Biography Princess Sabiha Fazile Hanımsultan of Egypt was born on 8 August 1941 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. She was the daughter of Prince Mehmed Ali Ibrahim of Egypt and Ottoman Princess Zehra Hanzade Sultan, daughter of Şehzade Ömer Faruk (son of Caliph Abdülmecid II) and Rukiye Sabiha Sultan (daughter of Sultan Mehmed VI). She had a younger brother, Sultanzade Ahmed Rifat Bey.

She was educated at the Heathfield School, Ascot.

In September 1957, she went to Iraq to meet King Faisal II, to whom she was engaged through the mediation of her relative, Şehzade Mahmud Namık. The engagement came as a shock to her parents, as Fazile, the daughter of two exiled dynasties, was only sixteen and still in school, but they agreed anyway. However, on 14 July 1958, two weeks before the date of the wedding, Faisal was assassinated in a coup.

On 10 April 1965, Fazile married Hayri Ürgüplü (born 31 May 1936), son of Suat Hayri Ürgüplü, in Paris.
