I find this beautiful photo of Prince Aly Khan and second wife Rita Hayworth.
The couple are seated at a table with their children.
The photo was taker during the gala wedding reception in Cannes (France). The gala followed Rita and Aly's marriage at the nearby town Vallauris.

Left to right are Prince Karim and Prim Amyon - both are Ali's sons by his former wife Joan Buller - Prince Ali Khan, his wife Rita Hayworth and Rebecca Welles, the daughter of Rita and her second husband Orson Welles:

It is a beautiful picture of the whole family on the wedding of the Aga Khan, I've got a similar wedding picture in my specially created royal photo albums, I've got quite a few, thanks for your picture.
 
Forget to tell you, I have got a book of the history of the Aga Khans with a few black & white pictures by Anne Edwards. I read it & it is very good, I bought it a while ago.I find The Aga Khans a very interesting family. Have you got that book too ? Keep in touch!

Sorry, I forgot to tell you about the title of that book about the Aga Khans, the title is THRONE OF GOLD.

Yes I have read Throne of Gold an excellent book on the Aga Khan family. I also have Elsa Maxwells I Married the World, an autobiography and it is an excellent read. She claims to have set up Rita with Prince Aly for their first meeting. Rita made quite an impression at the top of the stairs and by the time she reached the bottom of the stairs Prince Aly was standing there with his hand held out - as a gentleman would. He never left her side all evening, and the rest is history. (Not her exact words but from my memory.)
It was 1948 at the Palm Beach Casino in Cannes, at a dinner for Admiral Forrest P. Sherman.
If you ever come across this little book published in 1956 it is an excellent read.
 
Those old royal biographies from years ago are worth a few bob today, the book of the Aga khans (Anne Edwards) that I bought years ago is worth now $150 (hardback) & paperback $500 at Amazon, can you believe it?, I think I am sitting on a goldmine with these old royal biographies and I've got a few that is out of print. Thank you for your interest, keep in touch!
 
I forgot to say my local Library had Throne of Gold and I wanted to buy it when they had a big sale of their old books. But I was away during the sale and I was very disappointed they no longer had it.

I never read The Throne of Gold... I don't know if exist an italian version of this book. I search.

Do you know if this book exist in italian or in french language?

In Italy there isn't much books about Aga Khan dynasty. There are many Rita Hayworth's books in the past, but not much books about Aga Khan dynasty.

I highly recommend Throne of Gold, as it is a comprehensive history of the Aga Khans. As far as I know only available in English. Perhaps ask your library if they can get an Italian version for you. It may be available in audio.
