Princess Farah Diba, the Shah's luckiest wife, priceless jewels, and her only daughter committed suicide

The third wife of the Shah of Iran, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, and the most fortunate of his wives. She won the love and significance of her husband, as the entire Iranian people loved her. Despite that, her life was not without moments of grief and sadness. Farah Diba enjoyed what no other wife of the kings of the Persian Empire had; The simple Iranian girl, Farah Diba, did not aspire to be crowned with the title of "Shahbanoo" or "Empress", but rather to have a voice in the royal court, but her marriage to the last Shah of Iran, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, achieved the impossible for her.


Empress Farah was the only daughter of Sohrab Diba, a soldier in the Iranian Revolutionary War, but he died as a child and then she studied French in Tehran and then got a scholarship to study architecture in Paris, where she met her husband the Shah later, after he separated from his second wife Soraya Esfandiari; for her inability to conceive.

Farah Diba, according to her memoirs, which she published in several languages ​​entitled “Farah Pahlavi… Memoirs,” met the Shah in Paris during an official visit to him, and the first meeting was magical for them; They were both attracted to each other without heeding royal restrictions and protocol, and their meetings continued in Iran, and one day he invited her to dinner at the house of his daughter from his first wife, and they were sitting in the salon with the audience.


Then the guests withdrew suddenly and left them alone, at which time the Shah spoke of his two previous marriages, and then immediately asked her: Do you accept to be my wife? And at once she answered yes, 'There was no reason to think, and I had no reservations. I loved him, and was ready to follow him.' And he said to me, 'Queen, you will have many responsibilities to the Iranian people,' and she insisted on a welcome approval.


Then they married in 1959 and had four children: Reza Pahlavi, Farahnaz Pahlavi, Ali Reza Pahlavi, and Leila Pahlavi, who suffered from a mental illness that led to her suicide, by taking forty tablets at once of "cocaine" she stole from her private doctor.
After only 6 years of marriage, Diba was crowned with the title "Shahbanoo", after she was known for her closeness to the Iranian people, so she took care of all his affairs and problems despite the luxurious life that she lived in palaces.


Despite the luxury and bliss, the Iranian empress never abandoned her husband after her husband was overthrown in 1979, so she sent her children abroad and accompanied the Shah in exile to Egypt, Morocco, the Bahamas, Mexico, the United States of America, and Panama before they returned again to Egypt, where he died Her husband in 1980, and was buried in the Al-Rifai Mosque in the Citadel.
Farah Pahlavi used to visit her husband's grave every year in July until now.
