Life

Jamal Nur married Khedive Isma'il Pasha, and gave birth to Prince Ali Jamal ud-din Pasha in 1875.[1]

Jamal Nur is described as being pretty, but having short legs. She was described as frivolous, always laughing and joking, and when she walked in the garden with everyone, she could never resist in taking off her shoes and stockings to paddle in the basins of the fountains. She even lifted up her skirts so high that one could see the frills of her pantalettes. She was the one who gave a slightest twinge to Neshedil Qadin, another consort of Isma'il Pasha.[2]

Jamal Nur Qadin died at Cairo, in 1876, and was buried there at the Khedival Mausoleum, Al-Rifa'i Mosque.[3]

Together with Isma'il Jamal Nur had a son:

  • HH Prince Ali Jamal ud-din Pasha (born Cairo, April 1875 – died from diphtheria, Vienna, Austria, 1893, buried in Khedival Mausoleum, Al-Rifa'i Mosque, Cairo). He got his education from the Royal School, Cairo, the Theresianum, Vienna, and the Cavallerie Cadettenschule, Mährisch-Weisskirchen, Austria.
