   I am very sad to hear such tragic news. I only hope HM’s son, now the young Crown Prince Leka, will be able to bear the sadness of His Father’s death and overcome it bravely, like a real prince. May God bring Him, one day, on the throne of Albania, to the benefit of His people and thus make the idea of having a monarchy instead of a republic prevail.

   Sincere condolences to the grieving Princely Family.
