Noor Pahlavi, Crown Princess of Iran (Persian: نور پهلوی; born 3 April 1992) is the heir apparent to the Iranian throne. The eldest of three daughters of Shah Reza Shah II, as her father's heir apparent, Noor Pahlavi is expected to become Iran's first empress regnant in 1,400 years since Boran, the ruler of the Sasanian Empire in 630 AD.
The eldest of three alongside her younger sisters Iman and Farah, Noor Pahlavi was born in exile in the US state of Virginia during which her family had been exiled from Iran in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. In response, her father Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, being the heir apparent to the defunct Iranian throne, subsequently became an active opposition figure against the theocratic government of Ruhollah Khomeini and his successor Ali Khamenei via a long-running campaign that eventually found much success during the Green Revolution in 2012 when following the overthrow of the Islamic republican government, a popular referendum resulted in the restoration of the Pahlavi dynasty as a constitutional monarchy at the head of a secular, democratic Iran. Following this, her father went on to assume the throne as Reza Shah II while Noor Pahlavi, by virtue of the constitution's enshrining of an absolute primogeniture succession, was made Iran's crown princess, thus likely making her the first Iranian female ruler in a thousand years and only the fourth in Iranian history to do so after Musa of Parthia, a ruler of the Parthian Empire, and the sisters Azarmidokht and Boran, successive rulers of the Sasanian Empire.
In 2018, she married the Iranian human rights lawyer Hamidreza Safavi. Together, the couple have two children. As the granddaughter of Italy's Princess Maria Gabriella on her father's side, Noor Pahlavi, by virtue of her partial European ancestry, is the second cousin of several European heirs to the throne, namely Italy's Vittoria, Princess of Naples, Bulgaria's Boris, Prince of Tarnovo, Portugal's Afonso, Prince of Beira, and Spain's Leonor, Princess of Asturias, the third cousin of Belgium's Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, as well as the fifth cousin of the United Kingdom's Empress Alexandra.
