Farahnaz Pahlavi (Persian: فرحناز پهلوی; born 12 March 1963) is the oldest daughter of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi by his third wife, Farah Diba.

Education

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.
