SAEDNEWS: Take a look at a collection of photos showcasing Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and his second wife, Soraya, during their travels, dressed in a variety of stylish outfits.
According to SAEDNEWS: the Pahlavi royal family was known for its lavish spending—from luxurious and expensive clothing and entertainment to extravagant parties and costly trips.
These enormous expenses were incurred at a time when many Iranians were living in poverty, and public dissatisfaction with the Shah's regime was growing. According to many analysts, such excessive spending accelerated the fall of the Pahlavi monarchy. The staggering cost of these celebrations was widely criticized in the European press, and Iranian students abroad held protests in numerous countries.
