Heirs - Heiress - Royalty - Socialites

Oct. 10, 1963 - Another difficult Love Affair for Soraya The beautiful Princess Soraya, who evoked world-wide sympathy when she was divorced by the Shah of Persia for failing to give the throne an heir, is again encountering difficulties in achieving something that she loves, this time it is an islet. When Soraya, first came to Greece in 1960, she saw the tiny islet of Baou, in the Agean sea, near the island of Myconos. She wants to buy the islet and make a home for herself there, as have Niarchos, Onassis, and other wealthy people on similar islets, but it is here that he has met up with a great snag, for Baou belongs to St. George Monastery, and the Abbott and clergy have stated emphatically that the islet will never be sold to anyone who is not a Christian. But in spite of this, Soraya is preserving with her attempts and negotiations. It seems that the only possible reason for her carrying on is that she is intending to marry her close friend, Maximillian Schell, to which marriage her former husband the Shah has already given his blessing. If Soraya does marry Maximillian, it possibly means that she will convert to Christianity. Photo Shows: Soraya with two of her Greek friends, in the centre is Mrs. Nicolaides who has been her faithful escort throughout her negotiations. They are on the island of Myconos which is close to the islet of Baou. Keystone
