Noorani family

The Noorani family is a term used to refer to the immediate family of the Imām of the Nizari Ismāʿīli Shia 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 Aga Khan III.[lower-alpha 1]

gollark: No, I was only considering the CB ones.

gollark: 72 quadrillion dragons: Quite Hard to Get™.

gollark: Okay, probably a bit before then, but it would take a while.

gollark: With eggslots considered, you might just be able to get all 72.1 Pdragons (petadragons) before the last stars go out.

gollark: At that point, the Sun's life will have been over, and DC will probably not be around.

Notes

This style has been continually recognized, on a personal basis, by the British monarch, to whom the Aga Khans were previously temporal subjects—the incumbent is a British citizen—since 1866. In 1959, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran—whose Qajar predecessors first awarded Imam Hasan Ali Shah the title of Aga Khan in 1818—bestowed upon Aga Khan IV the higher style of Royal Highness in 1959, but that style fell into disuse following the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
