Another royal baby is on the way! Prince Rahim and Princess Salwa Aga Khan — also known as Seattle native and fashion model Kendra Spears — are expecting their second child, according to the The Ismaili website. Rahim’s father, Aga Khan IV, announced the news on October 7.
"It gives me the greatest happiness to announce that Prince Rahim and Princess Salwa are expecting their second child,” he said in a written message.
