Which prince did actress Rita Hayworth marry in 1949?

The story behind the answer

Actress Rita Hayworth married Prince Aly Khan in 1949.

Hayworth and Aly Khan met at the Cannes Film Festival in 1948. Their relationship attracted intense international press attention because Hayworth was a major Hollywood star and Aly Khan was a prominent member of the Ismaili Muslim royal family.

They married on 27 May 1949 in a civil ceremony at the town hall in Vallauris, France. The couple had one daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, born in 1949. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1953.

A common mix-up is confusing Aly Khan with his father, Sultan Mahommed Shah, Aga Khan III. Aly Khan was the son of Aga Khan III and the father of Hayworth’s daughter.
