Birth and Education

Born in Turin, Italy to a father of an Iranian origin (Aga Khan III), who was born in Karachi (then under British colonial rule), and Italian mother. He was the younger son and only surviving child of the Aga Khan III and Cleope Teresa "Ginetta" Magliano, a dancer with the Ballet Opera of Monte Carlo. He had two brothers: Prince Giuseppe Mahdi Aga Khan (who died in 1911) and, by his father's third marriage, Sadruddin Aga Khan.

Aly Khan was educated by private tutors in India and France during his childhood and later trained in England as a lawyer.

Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or education:

    Spirit enters flesh
    And for all it’s worth
    Charges into earth
    In birth after birth
    Ever fresh and fresh.

    There are words in that letter to his wife, respecting the education of his daughters, which deserve to be framed and hung over every mantelpiece in the land. Compare this earnest wisdom with that of Poor Richard.
