The journalist says that the Empress is very active in Paris to which she is close .She says french people are close and affectionnate to her because they see her as "the former french student".
Everyday at the same hour,she is on internet and calls people in Iran anonymously.She says that because of her particular voice people recognize her,sometimes,she just tell them that she is the person they sent a message to on the internet.Sometimes,people on phone call her by her title and she prevent them to do so in order to avoid them getting into troubles with the iranian authorities.Usually,people reply to her that they don't care.

It's Olimpia Weiller, née Princess Torlonia and granddaughter of King Alphonso XIII of Spain. She's wearing her grandmother Queen Ena's aquamarine tiara.

Couldn't be - Joachim and Alexandra were married in 1995 and were divorced in 2007. Joachim and Marie were married in 2008.

Tribute to His Excellency the late ‪#‎Boutros‬ #Boutros-‪#‎Ghali‬
by H.I.M Empress ‪#‎Farah‬ ‪#‎Pahlavi‬
February 19, 2016
I have had the pleasure of knowing His Excellency the late Boutros Boutros-Ghali and his charming wife, Leia for thirty-seven years.
He was a man of strong will, independence and boundless courage who worked with devotion for whatever task he was given. He was also a scholar, a consummate diplomat and a visionary who toiled hard for peace in the Middle East. In 1977, when President Sadat decided to go on his historic journey to Jerusalem, he accompanied Sadat as the minister of state for foreign affairs and played a crucial role in the negotiations, which led to the Camp David accords. As Secretary General of the United Nations after the fall of the Soviet Union he relentlessly pursued peace and harmony among nations and in the words of Secretary General Ban-Ki-moon Boutros-Ghali was, “a memorable leader who rendered invaluable services to world peace and international order.”
He and his wife Leia were dear, loyal and reliable friends throughout our time in exile. I will never forget their kindness and understanding when in 1979 we left Iran and went to Egypt.
On this sad occasion my prayers and heartfelt sympathies go to Leia his devoted wife and to his bereaved family and friends.

It can be very interesting. Do you know if the book will be translated to many languages?

I don't know. If it sells well in the anglosphere than probably but at this stage it's hard to say - what language were you wanting it in just out of curiosity?
