The Aga Khan IV and Family

[susan alicia]

yes, still beautifull, perhaps with a bit of a botox, but very well done. Remember an article in a magazine about her short while ago and there was a picture of her in her house surrounded by her 6 adoring dogs, all saved from the animal shelter and looking like the variety you can find on greek islands.

Aga Khan IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

according to the above link he is still married to his second wife, but seperated

Don't know when that article was last updated,and more,Wiki isn't always reliable either.As far as I know the divorce from Inaara is a fact.I remember an issue on it on german tv recently.

It's nice to see that she wore a dress with special golden details..

The queen looks stunning. So much better than those beaded, white sacks she has been wearing lately for eveningwear.

Little Star: Does it stand true then that Mark Bowden, Princess Zahra's husband is still a practising Christian?

I just read an article bout it all in a magazine this affair and apparently the guy is quite extreme in his tastes and rather unsafe too.

Goodness, I stumbled across these threads. Embirikos is a scion of a Greek shipping family as well as a nephew of the Aga Kahn. The last thing he needs is cash, escpecially performing like that.

I have not seen them together in a long while. Are they still married?

Susan, if I remember the story correctly, Begum Salima herself divorced the Aga Khan. There is so much acrimony she was not even present at her children's weddings. He allegedly was playing the field with a number of other women. At the time he announced his engagement to the second wife (Inaara) those in the know were surprised because there was another seemigly serious affaire he was carrying on with an unnamed lady. With all her faults, it does not seem that the second wife was the reason the first wife was pushed aside.

Does anyone has pics of Aiglement castle?

The Aga Kahn's 1st wife Begum Salima or Salimah was and is still very well liked. From what I have read, when they were 1st married..about 1969 he (Karim) was very much in love with her. They had 3 kids quickly..then in about 1984 maybe even earlier he started playing the field. According to the gossip columnist "Suzy" in W magazine at the time their divorce, he was the one who filed the divorce, because he wanted to marry a beautiful Argentine widow whose husband had died while playing polo.
Suzy and the greek gossip writer "Taki" said that from 1984 on, Salimah lived by herself with the 3 kids in their estate in Switzerland.
Both writers claim that in those years he treated her terribly..had alot of mistresses. Ex..Karim was visiting Stravros Niarchos and his family in the '80s on their privite greek island and left with Spryros fiancee..a Pilar Goess.. He had an affair with her. for a few years! she was blond and did like like his 2nd wife Inaara. I beleive she died a few years ago.

Also, the Aga Khan is still mariried to his 2nd wife Begum Inaara. They are separated but not divorced. See Dailey Mail UK for more info, and Wikopedia under Begun Inaara.

In addition for the past year, Karim's latest girlfreind is Beatrice von der Schulenburg. I have never seen a photo of her, but she is described as blond and looking alot like Inaara.

Here's something from the Mail online dated 18 February 2008:

Is the Aga's friendship hotting up? | Mail Online

"There has been a sophisticated shift in the growing friendship between the fabulously wealthy Aga Khan and his British-based companion Beatrice von der Schulenburg.

The couple have been introduced together at a major high society event in Spain where they sat with the King and Queen of Spain and a host of other prominent figures.

For more than a year, the Aga, who is separated from his second wife, Princess Inaara, has been spending time with divorcee Mrs von der Schulenburg, daughter of Sixties folk singer Frederik van Pallandt, who was half of the Nina and Frederik singing duo."

Karim Agha Khan was such a handsome young man when he succeeded his Grandfather. And what a beautiful couple him and Begum Salimah were! It´s a shame he inherited his father´s (Aly Khan) roving eyes.
Thanks Little Star for all these photos. I had a great crush on Karim when I was a teenager. Saw his photo in Paris Match when he became the new spititual leader.

I'm new around these parts, so please excuse my ignorance, but is there a formal reason why Princess Khaliya would wear a saree at her wedding. The Aga Khans are Iranian, so why wear Indian clothing?

[Warren]

The Aga Khan has a close association with Pakistan; maybe that's the sari link.
