He was the favorite nephew of Adile Sultan, who had brought his parents together, and she wrote several poems to celebrate him.[4]
His circumcision took place on 20 June 1870 in the Dolmabahçe Palace.[5] Other princes who were circumcised along with Celaleddin included Şehzade Selim Süleyman and Şehzade Mehmed Vahideddin, sons of Sultan Abdulmejid I; Şehzade Mehmed Selaheddin, son of Murad V; Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin, Celaleddin's brother; and Sultanzade Alaeddin Bey, son of Münire Sultan, daughter of Abdulmejid I.[6]

In 1863, at a young age, he was registered in the Ottoman Navy.[7] He was given the rank of Sergeant and appointed to the First Division of Mahmudiye Imperial Galleons with three warehouses. In 1870, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. In August 1872, a room was allocated to him in the headquarters of the Ministry of the Navy,[8] and a silver-plated sword presented to him.[9] In September 1872, he visited İzmit.[9] In February 1872[10] or March 1873, he was promoted to Captain.
