Early life and education

Hamid Reza Pahlavi was born on 4 July 1932. He was the youngest son of Reza Shah and his fourth and favourite wife, Esmat Dowlatshahi.[1][2][3] His parents married in 1923.[1][4] His mother was a member of the Qajar dynasty.[5] Of both his parents he had four siblings: Abdul Reza Pahlavi, Ahmad Reza Pahlavi, Mahmoud Reza Pahlavi and Fatemeh Pahlavi.[6] They lived in the Marble Palace in Tehran with their parents.[2]

He studied in the United States and in Tehran.[7] While attending high school in Washington, D.C., (the Honeywell Foundation) in September 1947, he skipped school to take a train to Hollywood, California, to visit his brother, Mahmoud, who was studying at UCLA.[7] He stated that he did so because his high school did not have girl students and he was homesick.[7] He had acted similarly three months previously, leaving his high school in Newport, Rhode Island, to travel to Paris and Provincetown.[7]

Personal life

Hamid Reza married three times and had four children.[8] He first married Minou Dowlatshahi in Tehran in March 1951.[8] Of this marriage he got a daughter, born 1953. In 1959 he married Homa Khameneh, by whom he had two children.[9] In 1974 Hamid Reza married Houri Khameneh, by whom he had one child, born 1975.

One of his sons lived in the United Kingdom for a while, but he was brought by Shah Mohammad Reza to Iran and attended the military school in Tehran.[10]

Due to his scandalous lifestyle, Hamid Reza's title of prince was removed and the Shah banned him from the court.[10] In the 1960s he became known as a leading figure in opium trafficking business.[11]

After the Iranian Revolution that overthrew Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Hamid Reza stayed in Iran and changed his name to FaFar Islami.[10] However, he was arrested as a vagrant in 1986.[9][12] He received a sentence of ten years in Evin prison on drug charges.[12] In an interview held in prison in 1989, Pahlavi however stated that he was sentenced for his family connections.[12] He also said that he was not treated badly in prison and "things could be worse".[12] Inmates in his prison cell included a former general and senior officials of the Shah's regime.[12] In July 1992, while serving his sentence, he died of a heart attack.[13]
