But Reza Pahlavi, a professional optimist, finds the "forces of change" gathering momentum and is prepared to act as a catalyst for them, should he be needed.
Pahlavi is a smooth, hawkish-looking man with heavy eyebrows and a genetically flat nose; much taller than his father - who was styled "Superior Presence, Shadow of God on Earth, Light of the Aryans" - and considerably more aware of the way the wind blows.
Whatever Pahlavi's precise fortune when he went into exile, £16 million of it was apparently squandered by the boyhood mentor he appointed as his financial adviser - something that he admits he was not "street-smart" enough to anticipate.

 Iran's Reza Pahlavi
The omnipresent neo-conservative kingmakers are at it again, this time with the eloquent and dashing Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, eldest son of the former enigmatic Iranian King of Kings, Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, who ruled Iran from 1941 until his exile in 1979.
But some of the statements attributed to Pahlavi suggest that there's a dangerous streak of kingly greed that fuels his motives and that he merely covets the throne for personal reasons and, in order to get it, is willing to sell out the Iranian people in the process.
Pahlavi also cut a backroom deal by garnering political support and funding from the US Congress for private Iranian-American satellite companies in California and US government sponsored external radio programs such as Radio FARDA, geared to reprogramming Iranians under 30 years of age.

Constitutional monarchy, the other alternative, both in the case of Iran, and in other parts of the world, has neither been a system inimical to the people, nor antithetical to democracy, though it is different indeed from a republican form of government, the form most people associate with democracy.
It was this form of monarchy Reza Pahlavi mentioned in his lecture at the National Press Club, and he presented it to the assembled guests as the form of government he stands for and represents.

 THE IRANIAN: Referendum, Amir-Khosrow Sheibany
Their policies and worldviews are all cut from the same cloth, and fortunately with the failure of Khatami, the champion of the pro-Mossadegh and anti Pahlavi sentiment in Iran, their political hold on our country is coming to an end.
Even today, despite 1979, we could be in a better political situation if instead of all this jabbing at Reza Pahlavi and the institution of Shahanshahi, the focus was a secular consensus focusing on a national referendum under international observation to determine who's who and what's what.
Hence Reza Pahlavi II's focus only on Iran and bringing it to freedom as soon as possible, rather than political statements on this form of government or that, what happened in the past, and various what-if scenarios.
