MM Video: The Last Empresses of Iran
A photographic look at the three wives of the last Shah of Iran starting with Queen Fawzia (a Princess of Egypt) then Queen Soraya (an Iranian aristocrat) both of whose marriages ended in divorce and finally the Empress Farah Diba (also a native Iranian) who survived him. The title of "Empress" was unknown in Iran until the coronation of Farah Diba when she was given the equivalent title "Shahbanu" by her husband. Prior to that time the consorts of the Shah were known as "Queen". As of today Princess Fawzia and Empress Farah are still alive while Queen Soraya died in 2001 in France.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
