Prince Hussain, the son of the Aga Khan, the billionaire spiritual leader of the world's 15 million Shia Ismaili Muslims, has wed his American sweetheart Kristin White in a glittering celebration at a chateau outside Paris. At the religious ceremony the bride - who took the name Khaliya following her conversion to Islam - drew gasps of admiration as she made her entrance draped in ivory and gold traditional dress. The exquisite look was completed with precious hair jewels. Prince Hussain tied the knot with Kristin White, a public health graduate who has now converted to Islam. The 32-year-old is the second son of the Aga Khan by his first wife, former British model Sally Croker-Poole.
