Prince William, the future British monarch, received a very special guest at Kensington Palace just hours after an audience with his father King Charles.
William was in high spirits as he welcomed The Aga Khan V, Prince Rahim Al-Hussaini, to the iconic palace on Thursday, February 5.
The Prince of Wales' meeting took place just one day after the 77-year-old monarch hosted the billionaire spiritual leader at a black-tie accession anniversary dinner at Windsor Castle.
The Palace shared an update about today's meeting on the Prince and Princess of Wales' official Instagram account.
Last year, King Charles bestowed the title "His Highness" upon the new Aga Khan, upholding a longstanding tradition between the British royal family and the Ismaili leadership.
Prince Rahim had previously met with the monarch at Buckingham Palace in July 2023 through his work with the Aga Khan Development Network and Aga Khan Foundation.ity reasons'
