Jamshid ruled Zanzibar from 1 July 1963 to 12 January 1964. On 10 December 1963, Zanzibar received its independence from the United Kingdom as a constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth under Jamshid. This state of affairs was short lived and he was overthrown by the Zanzibar Revolution.
He fled into exile firstly to Oman but was not allowed to settle permanently.[3] He later moved to the United Kingdom, settling in Portsmouth[4] with his wife and children.[5]
While his children and siblings all settled in Oman in the 1980s, the Omani government continually denied Jamshid's requests to join them, citing security reasons.[clarification needed] Their stance changed in September 2020 when after over 50 years in the United Kingdom, Jamshid's request to live in Oman was granted by the government of the new Sultan of Oman, Haitham bin Tarik,[6] to return to his ancestral land as a member of the Al-Said royal family only, rather than a titular Sultan.
