Princess Farahnaz Pahlavi (born 12 March 1963 in Tehran) is the eldest daughter of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi by his third wife, Farah Pahlavi.
She was born Princess Yasmin Farahnaz Pahlavi, as per official dynastic usage, with the style Her Imperial Highness. She lives a very anonymous and discreet life in New York City.
She studied at the Niavaran Special School in Tehran, the Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, Connecticut, United States, and the Cairo American College in Cairo, Egypt. From 1981 to 1982, she attended Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont.
