Great pics, Hilal! I didn't know any of them before you've posted them. Reza II was a beatiful boy and young man...Today he is...somewhat fat, but a worthy "in exhile" Shah.

Thank you. Unfortunately I sent the pictures wrong thread.

HellO!! I have read it in some books. What do you think about that?

One of the books is the memoires of Alam, one of the best and close friend of the Shah.

I have read that the Shah didn't want sex, he wanted company, to talk or only to drink champagne.

Regards!

All is not memories of Alam, the book is by by Asadollah Alam and Alinaghi Alikhani, some part of the book I true and perhaps memories of Alam, but not all of it. Alam did not know everything happening inside the Imperial family and their private life. Don’t believe everything you read :)

But the book is the diary of Alam, the introductions of the years aren't by Alam, but the entries are written by Alam.

And, in "The lifes and times of the Shah", by Gholam Afkhami, you can read that the Shah had "female friends" and that Farah suffered a lot with that, specially in 1973.

Regards!

Alam died in 1978, before the revolution, and the book was edited by Alam’s friend Alikhani, and the book was released just few years ago, according to many the book is not all from Alam’s diaries. You can read more about it at Wikipedia:

The Shah probably had “female friends” as many other royals, statesmen, famous and infamous men, the Empress said in the movie “The Queen and I” that she know about the rumors that the shah had “female friends” but that the shah always treated her with respect, dignity and love, and sure there were women that tried to come close to the shah even when she was whit him and he always pushed them away, she had not seen anything herself.

Ok! Thanks for the info!

I think that the Shah was a loyal man, he wasn't a "playboy" as a lot of magazines said.

Regards!
