Absolutely beautiful photos of father and daughter. Geraldine is a little angel!

Beginning in October 2023, numerous Albanian news outlets have reported that Crown Prince Leka and Crown Princess Elia are separated and in the process of divorcing.

After announcing their engagement in 2010, Prince Leka Zogu and Elia Zaharia married in 2016. Their daughter, Princess Geraldine, was born in 2020.

The couple have not made an official statement.

How sad. Such a beautiful couple.

 

[Somebody]

That would explain the absence of Elia in the Christmas pictures (as well as Leka's absence in Geraldine's birthday pictures). It seems that so far, however, it is the other way around the rumors are primarily based on such social media posts and actions (deleting his wife as a follower?!).

Official Statement regarding the divorce of Leka and Elia.




Sad, I liked them.

 

[Blog Real]

I saw the ad now. It's very sad, but it's been some time since the couple's separation has been noticed.

Message from Elia Zharia:

Friends and well-wishers,
I have to inform you that today we started the legal procedures for the dissolution of the marriage, after we jointly decided to request the formalization of the divorce! This is not at all a reality that makes me happy, as I believe in family values as the most precious thing! I would never have chosen for my daughter to grow up with separated parents, but sometimes separation was the only solution! What matters most is that my little girl experiences this moment as easily as possible!
Thank you very much to all of you who wrote to me and gave me courage! Despite these difficult months I've been through, your kindness has given me strength!
I wish you health and happiness in your families!

How terribly sad for them!

 

[Moonmaiden23]

I am shocked to read this....

 

[An Ard Ri]

I am shocked to read this....

I know ,I thought I was seeing things when I read it!

 

[Alisa]

I am shocked and saddened for Leka.

 

[lucien]

How terribly sad for them!

Yes indeed.But it would be worse to remain in a unhappy relationship I think.

 

[Biri]

I hope everyone of them find true happiness someday; they are both still young.

I am not surprised; it had been hanging in the air for a long time.

Statement:

Hello, as you have been informed, on the afternoon of March 5, Prince Leka was physically attacked with hard objects by his ex-wife and ex-father-in-law, and the videos of this moment were made public on social networks.
The videos were submitted only to the police station by Prince Leka ll Zogu, as material evidence for the violence against him, but despite being considered a secret, these materials, together with the statement, circulated widely on social networks and in the media, conveys unpleasant and violent images.
The Royal Court expresses its deep disappointment with the law enforcement institutions which we suspect have violated the right to anonymity by distributing the videos to third parties.
The Royal Court also requests the intervention of the police and relevant institutions to delete these images from social networks and the media.

Quite the dramatic turn of events.

My goodness!!! I can't believe my eyes. The custody battle will be quite gruesome, I'm afraid.
