Müveddet Kadın

Müveddet Kadın (12 October 1893 – c. 1951) was the principal consort of Sultan Mehmed VI of the Ottoman Empire.

At a very young age Müveddet Kadın was taken to the Çengelköy Palace by Şehzade Vahideddin Efendi's treasurer, Habibe Hanım, who was Müveddet's aunt. While in service in the palace she was noticed by Vahideddin and he fell in love with her. She was married firstly to Vahideddin, as his third wife, on 24 April 1911. The marriage took place at Çengelköy Palace. A year after the marriage in 1912 she gave birth to her only son Şehzade Mehmed Ertuğrul Efendi. When Vahideddin succeeded to the throne as Mehmed VI in 1918, Müveddet became İkinci Kadınefendi (Second Imperial Lady Consort).

She joined the deposed Sultan in exile in San Remo, Italy. In San Remo they were living in a mansion. In 1929 after the death of her husband she moved to Alexandria. She married secondly on 2 May 1932 to Şakir Bey Eminpaşazade at Alexandria but soon she was divorced on 28 February 1936. In 1944 after the death of her son she wanted to return to Istanbul. She was allowed to return to Turkey in 1948.

She died in 1950 at Çengelköy, Bosphorus, Istanbul and was buried in a cemetery in Çengelköy.
