"'Last Ottoman' to be buried in Istanbul
Prince Osman Ertugrul, the head of the Ottoman dynasty and the last pretender to the abolished imperial throne, has died at age 97 following a long illness, local officials said Friday.
Ertugrul was the senior member of the last descendents of the Ottoman sultans who were chased out of Turkey in 1924, the year after the secular republic was declared on what was left of the once mighty empire."
