Shah of Iran, the late Reza Pahlavi must be one of the most fortunate men. He married 3 beautiful women. The first one is Princess Fawzia of Egypt. She is the sister to the late, King Farouk of Egypt. To me, she is definitely a Hollywood material if she were not a princess. Or we can say she is a truly fairy tale princess. But beautiful women are not blessed with fortunate lives. She was divorced as she could not bear the Shah an heir to the throne. She has a daughter.
The second wife of the Shah is Princess Soraya. She was born to an Iranian father and a German mother. Soraya, not only could not bear him a son but also children, (regardless of their gender). Soraya was divorced too by the Shah. She went to Europe, trying her luck in the film industry. I would not know whether she has made it big but she used to move around within the European royal family social circle.
The most famous of his wives, Farah Diba. In fact many girls in Malaysia are named after her. She must be Princess Diana of the Middle East during her heydays. Farah Diba bore the Shah a son who suppose to be the heir to the throne. But God has other plans. Iran does not even need a king now.
But Shah is not that fortunate as it may seems. He died while in exile. What is the worst thing to happen to a king? A king without a kingdom.
