5 Fascinating Facts About Ashraf Pahlavi’s New York Townhouse

Ashraf Pahlavi, the twin sister of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah, led a fascinating and tumultuous life, including her final years in exile. Known as a powerful political figure and advocate for women’s rights during her brother’s reign, Ashraf’s life after the 1979 took a drastically different turn.  Following the Shah’s overthrow, Ashraf fled along with other members of the royal family. She lived a life of exile primarily in France, the United States, and Monaco, dividing her time between these countries. The loss of her homeland and political influence deeply affected her, but she remained committed to supporting her family and advocating for the legacy of the Pahlavi dynasty.
