Sorry baby, I am the princess now
Nilhan Osmanoğlu, the person who has gone extremely public nowadays, claims she is the fifth generation granddaughter of one of the last Ottoman sultans, Abdul Hamid II. She said in a public speech last week that she was fed up with the parliamentarian system.
We've made the sultan worry, look what've done.
Dear Nilhan Sultan, there is nothing we can do if you are fed up. You know, it is now the time when the tail is wagging the dog. The islet on the Bosphorus Strait, that you've laid claim to, now belongs to Galatasaray football club, thus it is not yours anymore, because it belongs to us, our royal family. Don't try to sue us, the family is quite crowded; which one of the 80 million of us will you address?
Turkey got to know her when she first appeared on the Turkish version of "Who wants to be a millionaire?"
This is an "Are you kidding me?" piece. If you asked me who I even was to challenge the mighty sultan, well here is who I am: I am the granddaughter of Feyzullah Bey from the Ordu province's Gölköy district and Asım Bey from the Uşak province's central district.
Dear Nilhan Sultan, my grandfathers were not Ottoman sultans, but they had the caliber of kings. They were not as rich as our Sultan Abdul Hamid II, whom apparently Napoleon, as you claimed, said that your grandfather was the only rich man after him. Let alone the Galatasaray Islet, we have not even inherited an apple field from our grandfathers, but they both have a fantastic collection of medals from the War of Independence, quite a couple of them. I don't know how many times they have been wounded in the war for this country, but they have made a good collection.
You may not be too familiar with those times; your family was abroad I guess. Well...
