Şehzade Ahmed Tevhid Efendi (Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928);: شهزادہ احمد توحید; also Ahmed Tevhid Osmanoğlu, 2 December 1904 – 24 April 1966) was an Ottoman prince, son of Şehzade Mehmed Seyfeddin, and the grandson of Sultan Abdulaziz.
Şehzade Mahmud Şevket was born on 2 December 1904[1] in his father's villa in Küçük Çamlıca, Üsküdar.[2] His father was Şehzade Mehmed Seyfeddin, son of Sultan Abdulaziz and Gevheri Kadın, and his mother was Nervaliter Hanım.[3] He had a twin sister, Gevheri Sultan, a brother, Şehzade Mahmud Şevket, one year elder than him, and an older half-brother Şehzade Mehmed Abdulaziz.[2]
Şevket began his education in the princes school located in the Ihlamur Pavilion. On 5 June 1918, he was enrolled in the Imperial Naval School located on Heybeliada Island.[4] On 9 July 1918, he was given the rank of junior officer in the navy. However, a few months later, his education in the naval school ended, and he was sent back to Ihlamur Pavilion for military training. However, after the Armistice of Mudros in October 1918, his education in the Ihlamur Pavilion ended. In April 1922, his education in the naval school also ended because he did not take his lessons regularly, and it was decided that he would be educated by private teachers.
At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Tevhide, and his family moved to Beirut, Lebanon, then to Rome, Italy, and finally to Cimiez, Nice, France. They bought a villa near the Villa Carabacel which belonged to his uncle Abdülmecid II and when lived also Seniha Sultan, daughter of Sultan Abdulmejid I.[5] Here his father died in 1927.[2] In 1940, Tevhid settled in Cairo, Egypt. He died unmarried on 24 April 1966 at the age of sixty-one in Beirut, Lebanon, and was buried there.[6]
