Yasmine Pahlavi (born Amini, 26 June 1968) is the wife of Reza Pahlavi, the former crown prince to the throne of Iran.
By pre-revolution rules, she would be Shahbanu (Empress) and would be styled Her Imperial Majesty. However, she does not use nor has claimed this style or title, which has been abolished, as have all Iranian imperial distinctions.
Career
Yasmine Pahlavi is a graduate of The George Washington University Law School and worked for 10 years at the Children's Law Center in Washington, DC [1] representing at-risk youth.
