MAIN FEATURES Empress Farah: My life in exile. Thirteen months ago the Empress Farah was forced to flee Iran with her husband, the Shah, who had ruled for 37 years. Since then they have been forced to seek asylum: in a variety of countries and the perilous nature of the Shah’s illness has become public knowledge.
Today in an exclusive interview, the Empress talks about their life as ‘wandering exiles’, her children, her past financial dealings and her attitude towards the ‘assassination squads’ of Ayatollah Khalkhali. Interview and photographs by Jean Desaunois.
