Biography

Ali Reza Pahlavi studied political science at Harvard University.[1] Following Reza Shah's deposition and exile in 1941, Ali Reza accompanied his father in exile in Mauritius and then into Johannesburg, South Africa.[2]

He was married to Christiane Cholewska; they had a son, Patrick Ali Pahlavi (born 1 September 1947). However, there is no record of his parents' 20 November 1946 wedding in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.[3] The couple divorced in 1948.[3] Christiane had a son from a previous marriage, Joachim Christian Philippe, born 15 September 1941.
