Servetseza remained childless. After Empress Gülcemal Kadın's death in 1851, Princess Fatma Sultan, Princess Refia Sultan and Prince Şehzade Mehmed Reşad (future Mehmed V) were enrusted in her care.[4] When Empress mother Bezmiâlem Sultan died in 1853, Servetseza was placed incharge of Abdülmecid's harem. Upon this occasion, Empress Şevkefza Kadın took courage of Servetseza Kadın's affection for heir Prince Şehzade Mehmed Murad (future Sultan Murad V) and Abdülmecid's wish to see his son as the next Sultan, and rose in opposition to Empress dowager Pertevniyal Sultan and her son Prince Şehzade Abdülaziz.[10]
