The Prince has no children.

It's hard to find details of Ottoman dynasts. However, here is a link with pictures which indicates there is no shortage of males in the House of Osman.
The article states "More than a hundred members of the Ottoman Dynasty met in Istanbul to participate in a documentary about the family" [dated October 2006].

Warren,I wonder who will become the next Head of the House of Osman after the death of Prince Ertugrul Osman.I know that King Manuel II designated his cousin to be the head of the House of Braganca before he died childless in 1932.I wonder if Prince Ertugrul will do a similar thing.

Assuming the succession is still based on seniority, the Headship will past to the eldest surviving of the oldest or most senior generational line. Who that is I've no idea, but no doubt members of the family are well aware of the pecking order.

Here is an interesting article on a blog about the Imperial House of Osman, has a nice picture of Ertuğrul Osman & his wife:
