Throne of Gold by Anne Edwards

The Aga Khan III, born in Karachi in 1877, was a dedicated anglophile and champion of the British empire, who took his religious duties seriously but, possessing no political territories of his own, became famous for his estates and private hotel suites in Europe, for his many European mistresses, and for his fabulous stable of racehorses in England, Ireland, France and India. Aly Khan, his son by his second wife, was a soldier, diplomat, businessman, playboy, amateur jockey and a fine judge of horseflesh. His second wife was the Hollywood "love goddess" Rita Hayworth, and he had legendary affairs with a string of well-known actresses. Passed over as Aga Khan in favour of Karim, his son by his first wife, Aly Khan was killed in a car crash three years later in 1960. Karim, the current Aga Khan 4, is a Harvard trained tycoon.
