Princess Soroya spent seven years at the Iranian Imperial Court, where she was famed for keeping a pet seal in a fountain, until the royal marriage ended in March 1958 after she remained childless. 
The story of Soraya's divorce inspired French songwriter Francoise Mallet-Jorris to write "Je Veux Pleurer Comme Soraya" (I Want to Cry Like Soraya):
Je veux pleurer comme SorayaJe veux pleurer comme une princesseJe veux pleurer avec noblessePas dans la soupe, mais dans la soieJe veux pleurer dans un décorUn chagrin plus grand que ma vieUn vrai chagrin qui fasse envieJe veux pleurer comme Liz TaylorI want to cry like SorayaI want to cry like a princessI want to cry with nobilityNot in my soup but in silkI want to cry in a décorA misery greater than my lifeA real misery that causes envyI want to cry like Liz Taylor
