Soraya

by Larry (not verified) on

I am not Iranian, but have tons of Iranian friends. One of them is related to Soraya. Very beautiful woman. So, why did Shah divorced her? I just watched her complete channel on Searchles: //www.searchles.com/channels/show/3918

The most damaging aspect of the Shah

by Davood Eshaghzadeh (not verified) on

The most damaging aspect of the Shah's private life was not his divorce with Queen Soraya. His homosexual activity with this Ernest Perron that is even mentioned in the MI6 database. See:
//www.namebase.org/xpay/Ernest-Perron.html
If the British intelligence service mentioned him, then this guy really existed.
Even the Iranica, the Iranian Encyclopedia printed in New York mentions Ernest Perron, as the Shah's "private Secretary". What does "private" mean?
//www.iranica.com/articles/v11f3/v11f3001c.ht...
We can only conclude that this Swiss guy was not only getting tea for the Shah but was also servicing the Shah sexually.
In todays world we should not be shocked, the Shah just lived an alternative lifestyle. If the Shah had changed the laws of Iran and made Homosexual marriage legal, who knows, maybe Ernest Perron would be Iran's Shah today.

A true beauty

by anon22 (not verified) on

What a beautiful lady she was indeed.
Very sad life. I wonder if it's the bad Karma of what Pahlavi's did to her that the current pretender has yet to produce an heir. There is talk of making his eldest daughter a queen by changing the constitution but in that case why not Princess Shahnaz who is after all the eldest daughter and is of Royal blood from both sides and I belive has a son.

Shame how MRP's grand children from Shahnaz are forgotten.

By the way if you people call Farah a peasant (she was from a very notable family) what would you call the current queen Yasmine? I belive she is of lower stock!!!

IRAN DESERVES FAEZEH RAFSANJANI AS QUEEN

by Ayatoilet (not verified) on

Compared to Princess Soraya whose beauty was obvious, Faezeh's beauty is mainly covered and hidden, her beauty is in essence a sleeping beauty, just like Hazrate Mahdi, who awaits an awakening. Long live the Queen.


Abarmard

Why not

by Abarmard on

To declare a girl, the Queen of Iran? Now that would have been a forward move to advance the mentality of the people.

She could not have children and that's understandable, but generally the great idea would have been to change the constitution that a girl could inherit the thrown.

All Iranian Queens are beautiful

by Imperial Lion (not verified) on

Her majesty the queen Farah and Soraya are both beautiful and each one with a different destiny.

What is this with the Shah being a closet man?! This is just an old stupid non-sense propoganda by his opponents.

Was Shah a closet man?

by Anonymous eruni (not verified) on

This is a first time that I hear the Shah was a closet man,but the rumor that I heard while I was in Iran was that Farah was in love with the actor George Hamilton and our own beloved pop king Viguen.This is true or not I do not know.

Farah was a nobody. Soraya was a Real Princess

by Edward Tehrani (not verified) on

The autobiography of Soraya was thought provoking. She detailed the wierd life of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In her book she detailed that, a foreigner, by the name of Ernest Perron. This individual was mentioned in Ashraf Pahlavi's book, "Faces in the Mirror", Witness: From the Shah to the Secret Arms Deal: An Insider's Account of U.S. Involvement in Iran
by Mansur Rafizadeh, Pat Golbitz (Editor), and General Hossein Fardust's 2 volume autobiography.
Ernest Perron was the Shah's lover. Several years before the Revolution, A book was published titled, "The Shah's Husband, Ernest Perron". The subject was also mentioned on this site see:

//iranian.com/History/2005/January/Shah/i...

It seems that his closest friend in Switzerland was Ernest Perron, the son of the school's gardener. Perron was ten years older than Mohammad Reza. Upon his return to Iran, he insisted on bringing Perron with him. It is truly amazing that despite his father's strong opposition, Mohammad Reza managed to keep Perron at the court. Although the Shah never mentions Perron in his books, their friendship lasted for more than twenty years. According to Soraya's diaries (published in Persian), the Shah consulted him on an almost daily basis. Perron left Iran in 1953, apparently following American insistence on the removal of such a constant source of rumors.

-Other sources write that Ernest Perron died in Iran under questionable circumstances. Hossein Fardust mentions that Perron was a member of the British intelligence service.

no one knows what future holds for him!

by Anonymous eye (not verified) on

The poor shah went through 2 marriages because his ex wives could not have a son for him so he would inherit his monarchy.After marrying Farah Diba finally he had a son,but unfortunately life had other plans for him.Anyway Soraya Bakhtiari was very beautiful compare to Shah's other brides.By the way she was collecting a very nice alimony after Shah and her divorced.

I'm not even a royalist or rather MIGHT have been

by Anonymous77 (not verified) on

if it hadn'tbeen for the current brigade of plebs.

But Soraya was regal in her own way. What a fate of beauty.
Makes me laugh somehow, when that retarded peasant (I have nothing against peasants, but peasants who pretend that they are not peasants) farrah figure trying to have her cheekbones fixed and no amount of surgery does it.Such a retarded primitive idiot. LOL
