I also found some music by Princess Eugénie, Prince Gustaf's sister. There's an album recorded and I saw that it was on on Spotify! Search for: Prinsessan Eugenie

I know! And think these choral pieces are some of Swedens finest treasures in music, sångskatter. That lives on today

Hi Chris and welcome to the forums! Nice having americans here, as well

Hi Donatella! Welcome to the forums. Hope you will like it, and I'm sure you will gain a lot from it. Blessings

Hey. I saw you talking about wanting to see her smile. For all I know, Princess Estelle seems very content and smiling all the time. But here's one recent pic that I love. From Solliden. She is so adorable. And I agree with Artemisia, the little princess seem to concieve things around her...

I didn't know until recently that Studentsången was written by Prince Gustav. It's actually a great choral piece.

My goodness! This thread is awesome! I've been hoping for it to be something like this. Of course. One of the well known examples of royal music, not made BY royals but FOR them, is Johan Helmich Roman, who was a student of Händel. Perhaps the most famous piece is Drottningholmsmusiken. Music...

I know our late Prince Bertil of Sweden, who btw lived in the US, also enjoyed race cars a lot.

Ahh! I see. And do you know if they moved from Iran to another country? Was Mr Hillyer american? Thanks for posting pictures.

Wow, that's interesting! Almost like me, but You pick your name with more care. And I saw now that you were also scandinavian. Pretty neat :-)

I think it's so interesting Queen Farah bought art for Tehran. She really supported art and brought modern and western art to Iran. Articles on Farah assembling art to Tehran. Perhaps you've read these already...

Thanks for that! And your totally right, we scandinavians love wordplay and joke a lot with words. You're the first one who really commented on my name. What about yours?? It sounds peculiar, Thomasine...

Good idea. Cheers!

Titles and names Does anyone know where the name Pahlavi comes from? As I understood Reza Khan took the name when becoming shah. And also who can get the title Shahanshah (king of kings)?

Thank you, Daria_S and Magmil!

I'm sorry. I should have looked that up, of course. Thanks for correcting. I just assumed Abbasid derived from the name Abbas. Clumsy of me

Hey there! Do you have any thoughts about past shahs of persia? Which ones do you remember the most and have interest in? Shahs that has caught my attention are: In the pre-islamic era: Achamenian dynasty: Cyrus the great (Kurosh). Often referred to. He is known for a lot of good things...

I read that Ashraf have had an extremely low profile in France. Maybe she did not want to be associated with the Pahlavi, except from The Shah himself. As her brother he was often protecting. I think besides that she felt a little isolated somehow

What a wonderful collection of Pahlavi photos! Princess Iliana is so cute! It must be an enlightment for shahbanu Farah after all the sorrow to see the next generation Pahlavis grow up, her grand children. I like the wonderful names of the children too; Noor, Iman.. They speak hope to me. Is...

Thanks. Why intriguing? ;-) Maybe it's only swedes who gets it. My first name Olov is in it. In swedish 'olovlig' is also a formal word for 'forbidden'.

Thank you for welcoming me! :-)

Cool story!
