About
Prince Ali Salman Aga Khan, known as Aly Khan was a son of Aga Khan III, the head of the Nizārī Ismā'īlī Muslims, and the father of Aga Khan IV. A socialite, racehorse owner and jockey, he was the third husband of actress Rita Hayworth. After being passed over for succession as Aga Khan, he served as Pakistan's representative to the United Nations, where he became a vice president of the General Assembly. His first name was typically spelled Aly in the press. The titles of prince and princess, which are claimed by children of the Aga Khan by virtue of their descent from the Qajar king Fath Ali Shah of the Persian Qajar dynasty, were recognized as courtesy titles by the British government in 1938. He was educated by private tutors in India and France during his childhood and later trained in England as a lawyer.
