Quotes
On her famous ancestor Nasser-al-Din-Shah: "You have to know the kings of the Quajar dynasty, they had hundreds of wives. They made thousands of kids. If you multiply these kids by generation you have, I don't know, 10-15,000 princes and princesses. There's nothing extremely special about that."
