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 Shahs 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.
