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.

Their life a general mist of error,
Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
—John Webster (c. 1580–1638)
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
