Giuseppe Mahdi Khan died young.

Giuseppe Mahdi Khan was born in 1909. He was the son of Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III and Teresa Magliano. He passed away in February 1911. ^{[1] [2]}

Research Notes

The titles of prince and princess, which are claimed by children of the Aga Khan by virtue of their descent from the Qajar king Fath Ali Shah of the Persian Qajar dynasty, were recognized as courtesy titles by the British government in 1938. ^[1] This was long after Giuseppe Mahdi was born and died, so he did not have those titles when he was living.
