According to the [[Persian Constitution of 1906]], [[Yasmine Pahlavi]] would currently hold this title.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {{Portal|Iran}}<br /> * [[Shah]]<br /> * [[List of royal consorts of Iran]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Queens consort of Persia]]<br /> [[Category:Imperial titles]]<br /> [[Category:Titles in Iran]]<br /> [[Category:Persian words and phrases]]</div>
