My Take
Reza Pahlavi fascinates me as a study in what happens when history cancels your inheritance. Designated Crown Prince of Iran as a boy, he lost the throne before he could ever sit on it, and has spent more than four decades in exile advocating for democracy and human rights instead. Whatever one thinks of monarchy, I find his persistence remarkable: he could have retreated into a comfortable private life in America, yet he keeps arguing for a democratic Iran. The trained pilot, the photographer, the musician—those details suggest a man of rich private passions who nonetheless chose a public burden. Few figures carry symbolic weight this heavy with such evident patience.
