Who was Ertuğrul Osman?

Ertuğrul Osman, also known as Osman Ertuğrul Osmanoğlu with a surname as required by the Turkish Republic, was an Imperial Prince of the Ottoman Empire and the 43rd Head of the Imperial House of Osman from 1994 until his death. Had the Ottoman Empire not been dissolved and succeeded by the Republic of Turkey, he would have become Emperor of the Ottomans and Caliph of Islam as Osman V. He was also known as Sultan Ertugrul II in reference to Ertuğrul, the father of Osman I.

Until the abolition of the monarchy on 1 November 1922, Osman was addressed as His Imperial Highness Shahzade Ertuğrul Osman Efendi Hazretleri, Imperial Prince of the Ottoman Empire. He was regarded by Turks as the "last Ottoman".
