Dear Sol, I don't think there are any laws or rules about these things. It pretty much is up to the queen in question. Farah is not the kind of woman who loves to show off a lot of jewels. She wore the imperial crown jewels on official occasions in Iran because she represented the monarchy...

The shah was not guilty of any crime - and certainly not the "crime" of modernizing his country too fast. On the contrary, most Iranians thought he didn't modernize it fast enough! His father was really the one who modernized it fast. Many Iranians may be traditional, but they love all that is...

That's not true at all! Most Iranians, including me, think the Shahbaanou is very beautiful. The empress is much more than just beautiful though - She is most gracious, very elegant, incredibly dignified, charismatic and fabulously statuesque! She is an empress if I have ever seen one! And with...
