Princess Salimah Aga Khan (born January 28, 1940) was born in India as Sarah Frances Croker-Poole, better known as Sally Croker-Poole, and was a fashion model prior to her wedding to the fourth Aga Khan, Prince Karim Aga Khan, in 1969.
During her marriage to the Aga Khan, her official name was Her Highness Begum Salimah, although she remained informally known as Sally. Following their divorce in 1995, she kept the title of "Princess". She is now a child-welfare activist and a prominent supporter of the charity SOS Children.
She bore three children for the Aga Khan;

Her first husband was Lord James Crichton-Stuart, an English nobleman; they were divorced shortly before her marriage to the Aga Khan.
Today she lives in London with Phillipe Lizop, the French lawyer who secured Sally her divorce settlement.
She has also been active in the Aga Khan Development Network.
