He loved her. He divorced her in tears. Her ring ended up at auction: Soraya.
Officially, she died alone on October 25, 2001, in her apartment at 46 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. She had been Queen of Iran at eighteen, in the snow of Tehran, wearing a Christian Dior dress and a 22.37-carat Harry Winston diamond. Seven years later, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi divorced her for reasons of state. He needed a son; she had none. She was offered the chance to keep the crown by accepting a second wife. She refused. The communiqué of March 14, 1958, spoke of the greater good of the country. The Shah, according to the press of the time, wept on the radio. She became the princess with the sad eyes. Her brother Bijan survived her by only a few days. Her ring sells at Drouot for 900,000 euros. And everything that remains unfolds over fourteen years before the judges in Cologne.
It all begins with a page from a notebook, dated November 1, 2001, at 11:15 p.m.

Ici ça s'appelle une dictature.
Mais dynastie, ça attire plus dans les médias.
Évidemment c'est triste de passer des après midi à ne rien faire, dans le luxe et l'oisiveté 😊
