Reza Pahlavi as the eldest legitimate son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah and Farah Pahlavi, the Shahbanu of homeland. Pahlavi’s siblings include his sister Princess Farahnaz Pahlavi (born 12 March 1963), brother Prince Ali-Reza Pahlavi (28 April 1966 – 4 January 2011), and sister Princess Leila Pahlavi (27 March 1970 – 10 June 2001), as well as a half-sister, Princess Shahnaz Pahlavi (born 27 October 1940).
Pahlavi studied at the eponymous “Reza Pahlavi School”, a private school located in the royal palace and restricted to the imperial family and court associates. He was trained as a pilot; his first solo flight was at the age of 11, and he obtained his license a year later. He does not explicitly say he wants to be restored as Shah in the old monarchical sense; his focus is more on creating democratic structures and letting the Iranian people decide the system.
