King Charles granted The Aga Khan V the title "His Highness" it was announced today:


i am a bit confused as to why it is the competence of king charles to grant him the HH? if the aga khan is the highest representation of a faith, why does another sovereign need to grant him the HH (i.e. the pope is his holiness, and at the same level as a sovereign).

It‘s explained in detail here:

 
The Diwan of the Ismaili Imamat in Lisbon was the setting for a momentous event in the Jamat’s history today, the Takht-nishini of Mawlana Shah Rahim al-Hussaini Hazar Imam, on his ascension to the office of Imamat as 50th Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims.

Leaders of the Jamat submitted a gift on behalf of the global Jamat, to commemorate the historic moment of Mawlana Shah Rahim al-Hussaini Hazar Imam’s Takht-nishini. The gift is a manuscript, titled Munajat Hazrat Ali Amir al-Mu’minin, comprising a selection of silent or whispered prayers of our first Imam, Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him). The text is in Arabic, accompanied by the Persian translation, and the six folios of the manuscript are beautifully decorated in gold with plant and animal motifs. It is dated to 1558-59 CE.

It's absolutely magnificent!

I am a bit confused about calling 'His Highness' a 'title'. As far as I am aware 'his highness' is not a title but a style. He already used the title of 'prince'.
I think it was Elizabeth II who first granted his father the style of 'His Highness' and the Shah elevated him to HRH?
I'm not sure if that style extended to his wife or children!

Yes it was, but from what I read, British monarchs have given the style of Royal Highness to the Aga Khan since Aga Khan I.

Queen Elizabeth granted the Aga Khan IV the style of His Highness in 1957
The Shah granted him the style of His Royal Highness in 1959

Possibly after the Iranian Revolution in 1979 he reverted to His Highness?
 
All the Aga Khans have been granted the style of Highness by the British monarch.
 
My issue was with Charles calling the style 'his highness' a title. It seems you all agree that HH is a style and not a title.
 
The Ismaili Imamat today pledged €100 million for Syria’s development. Mawlana Hazar Imam announced the pledge at the European Commission's “Standing with Syria: meeting the needs for a successful transition” conference.

On Thursday, Aga Khan V participated in a high-level event at the Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris, hosted by President Emmanuel Macron.
