Prince Rahim Al Hussaini was named the 50th hereditary imam, or spiritual leader of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, yesterday following the unsealing of his father Prince Karim Aga Khan IV’s will, the Aga Khan Development Network said.
His father died in Lisbon, the seat of the Ismaili Imamat, at the age of 88 on Tuesday.
Born on October 12, 1971, Prince Rahim is the eldest son of the late Aga Khan IV and his first wife, Princess Salimah – née Sarah Croker Poole – a British ex-model.
