Sorry if this sounds so wrong, but ... Doesn't marrying a prince make her...a princess? That's pretty awesome

 

[Marc10]

So she's beautiful AND is about to marry a prince? Nope, i'm jealous at all.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Wow.. they will have royal, rich, tall, goodlooking children

Ms. Spears has had a highly successful career as a model

Past tense. I suppose it doesn't make sense for her to continue modeling now. That is too bad, she's been on a roll lately with getting a lot of work and having that supermodel appeal that made her one of the more exciting models of the last few years. I have to say they look great together and he doesn't seem like a bad catch at all Congratulations to them!

That's exactly what I noticed...
Pity, because I adored her as a model.

However, I hope she'll have a great marriage and future as a princess. Really awesome.

Random! Especially seeing her pull her best Kate Middleton attire and look for that photo. Good luck to her.

I am sorry if this the most stupid question, couldn`t see it been said anywhere, where is he from, the prince of which country?

 

[Nymphaea]

Congrats, he is 42 and she is 24!

None, from what I read on wiki .

It seems like a honorific title because his father is the Imam of Nizari Ismailism
"a denomination of Ismailism within Shia Islam consisting of approximately 15 million adherents".

They also have a interresting family tree: "The Aga Khan is Direct Descendant of the Prophet Muhammad through the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, Ali,[12] considered the first Imam in Shia Islam, and Ali's wife Fatima az-Zahra, the Prophet’s daughter from his first marriage." And they are very, very rich!

This is what wiki says so I don't know if it is accurate.
