Patrick Ali Pahlavi

Patrick Ali Pahlavi (Persian: پاتریک علی پهلوی; born 1 September 1947) is the disputed heir presumptive to the headship of the deposed Pahlavi dynasty since 2011, succeeding his cousin Ali Reza Pahlavi. According to the former constitution of Iran, Patrick was the first in the line of succession to the throne from 1954 to 1960. However, with the birth of Reza Pahlavi in 1960, the latter became the heir apparent. Pahlavi's position as heir presumptive has been challenged by his cousin Reza Pahlavi, who has declared his eldest daughter, Noor Pahlavi, as his heir.
