Is it true that Princess Qajar was a real historical figure?
Unclear. Several sources confirm that real Qajar-era princesses existed, notably Taj al-Saltana (Zahra Khanom) and 'Esmat, and one debunks the viral suicide story attached to the 'Princess Qajar' meme. None directly addresses whether the specific figure labeled 'Princess Qajar' in the meme is a real historical person.
