“But when people tried to help her she would say she was fine The Queen telephoned me to ask about Leila. I told her that she did not want to see me.”Five days before her death, Louis Martinez, a room service waiter at the Leonard, told the court that he had found the Princess lying on the floor with a telephone cord wrapped around her neck. “It was like she was drunk as she could not speak properly or get herself up I could not speak to her I carried her to her bed and asked her what had happened. She said, ‘I took so many pills’,” he said.On 10 June Mrs Dallas arrived at the hotel with Dr Clein to see the princess.
The hotel manager let them in with a master key after there was no response to repeated knocks on the door.Mrs Dallas recalled: “She was on her bed with the covers pulled over her. I thought she was sleeping, but the doctor told me that she was dead.”The court was told Dr Nathaniel Carey, of the Department of Forensic Medicine at King’s College London, had concluded from post-mortem results that Princess Leila had died of quinalbarbitone – or Seconal – poisoning.After her daughter’s death Queen Farah said in Paris: “We took the children in the middle of the night to a camp. Can you imagine what that meant to an eight-year-old child? Then there was the separation. While we [the Shah and the Queen] went from country to country, our children had to stay in the US.
On television people spoke bluntly about Iran, about the assassinations, arrests, dramas and the separation of families. We didn’t pay much attention to the feelings of a small eight- year-old girl.”But none of the Pahlavis was present yesterday at the impersonal court of scratched wood panelling and industrial pipes. The nature of her death is said to be an embarrassment to a family that still dreams of reoccupying the Peacock Throne in Tehran.The only mention in the royal website has been: “She left us on June 10 in her sleep, denied the chance to see her homeland.”.
