AGA KHAN’S GRANDSONS

PRO VISION. OF BODYGUARD. The Princess Aly Khan —English daughter-in-law of the Aga Khan, explained why she had visited Scotland Yard to seek a bodyguard for her two baby boys, one a few months old, the other 18 months. The Princess has discussed at the Yard the question of employing a retired detective as a bodyguard to her children on their travels. She said: “Often we are away for long periods, perhaps for five months'. Sometimes we are in remote places, such as the desert in Syria, where we are far from the telephone. In such circumstances it is nice to think that the children are with someone who can take responsibilities. We have received no threats about the children. I don’t feel that there is any need for a bodyguard in England, but it might be advisable on the Continent, where the children spend most of their time, sometimes at our home in Paris and sometimes in Switzerland. Up to the present they have been with their nurses.” With a smile, she said it might have been recent cases in which there had been talk of kidnapping the children of well-known people which put the idea into their minds.
