Prince amyn aga khan biography of barack

The Noorani family is a term used to refer to the immediate family of the Imām of the NizariIsmāʿīliShia Muslims, commonly known by the title of Aga Khan.^[1] By convention and custom its members and descendants in the male line are titled Prince and Princess, and as such it can be regarded as a royal family, although only the Aga Khan himself, as its head, is entitled to be referred to by the style of His Highness.

The style of His Highness was formally granted to the Aga Khan IV by Queen Elizabeth II in 1957 upon the death of his grandfather the Aga Khan III.^[a]
