Among the Aga Khan's first cousins were the 5th Baron Churston (son of the 4th Baron and grandson of the 3rd)  and the 8th Earl Cadogan (whose mother, the Hon. Primrose, was the sister of Joan Yarde-Buller).

The sons of these two peers currently hold those titles.  The 6th Baron Churston and the 9th Earl Cadogan are first cousins once removed of the late Aga Khan.
