6th Anniversary - Passing of HIH Princess Leila Pahlavi

Empress Farah Pahlavi with friends and supporters of the Imperial Family gathered in Paris, at the Passy Cemetery, in memory of the late Princess Leila Pahlavi (March 27, 1970 - June 10, 2001) on the 6th anniversary of her demise.

The tragedy lies in that the late Princess could not bear living with the betrayal (by her own countrymen and those who called themselves "allies") and the sudden loss of her father; also the fact that Iran was reduced to the miserable state that it is today (Islamist Occupational Regime) also had a tremendous impact on her - in effect the Iranian peoples' treason to the King (her father) and Country (Iran) is what led her to take her life.

The Empress has held her dignity and stayed strong in these tremendously difficult times but the Princess was a very fragile soul which the winds of time took with it...

God Bless Her Soul.
