Mustafa Fazıl Pasha
Summary
Mustafa Fazıl Pasha (مصطفى بهجت علي فاضل باشا
20 February 1830 – 2 December 1875) was an Ottoman-Egyptian prince of ethnic Albanian descent belonging to the Muhammad Ali Dynasty founded by his grandfather Muhammad Ali Pasha.
Prince Mustafa was born on 20 February 1830 at Cairo. He was the third son of Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt and his consort Ulfat Qadin (died 1865). He was educated at the Egyptian Mission School in Paris. When he was eleven years of age Mustafa was circumcised. On January 18, 1863, Prince Mustafa became the heir apparent to his brother Isma'il Pasha but on May 28, 1866, the Ottoman Sultan Abdülaziz changed the law so that the succession became by a direct male line of the reigning Khedive (viceroy) instead of passing from brother to brother. In protest of this decision, Mustafa Fazl Pasha left Egypt for Paris, where he patronized the Young Ottomans opposition against the Sultan Abdulaziz.
After losing his place as first in the line of succession Prince Mustafa was appointed minister for education in 1862, minister for finance in 1864 and 1869, and for minister for justice from 1871 until 1872.
Mustafa Fazıl died on 2 December 1875 at his mansion located in Vezneciler, Bayezit, Istanbul. He was initially buried in Eyüp. On 25 June 1927, he was reburied in Cairo.
