The Albanian Royal family are very much back in Albania, The Albanian prime minister Berisha has called for Albanian history to be changed to include the merits of the founder of the modern state, King Zog. The family are in the media daily! The return of King Zogs remains is forseen for next year and this meets with the 100 annuversary of the Albanian state. everytime Albania has Votes for the President There are always calls for the return of the Monachy, whilst the different political parties are all using the Monachy as a means of national pride. The legality party which is Albanias main Monachist party has a number of deputy ministers in goverment, including the deputy minister of defence. The crown Prince is also holding a govermental post, as a political adviser, moving through the ministry of foreighn affairs and ministry of interior. he has a number of duties and is very active. where as for the marrige, there still is no date, but i will try and keep you guys informed. although Elia, Prince Leka II fiance is very much liked and has given the Royal family a new image!

Very interesting Benjamin, I read the book in french about Queen Geraldine’s life. She and King Zog were a wonderful royal couple. She had to sell her engagement ring for King Zog’s funerals.
It is a pity that there son the late Leka I was so found of guns etc..He seems being ill since years.
I like the young Leka II and I hope we will have a wonderful royal wedding (if he is still engaged ??)

I believe Prince Leka II is still engaged indeed; there's an official biography of his fiancée Elia Zaharia on the website of the Albanian Royal Family.

I hope she is now a true support for her fiance; she is now the closest person to him, when his parents passed away, and he doesn't have any siblings.
I think they will have a bigger family when they marry.

Enjoyed your message on Forum re King Zog and his bodyguard relatives.
Some of my research (Linda Reid) was used in Neil Rees book - A Royal Exile.
I was at the Parmoor House book launch & events in 2010 & 2011.
I met King Zog's niece & family, Teri Doshishti Cooper, in Dorset UK, in 2001.
Im friends and still in contact with Skender Zogu and Neil Rees.
I really enjoyed reading and learning the history and information on the Royal Bodyguards of Mati, their lives in exile and families.

Totally agree, with Zogolli Mati Tribal Chieftans ruling the clans of Mati region as Beys & Pashas, for centuries from Bugaret Castle Fortress, near Burrel in Mati.
A Very fine and indigenous pedigree and noble history for Albanian Kingship!
Many Thanks for your post. Regards, Ruhije (Sussex,UK)

I know Neil Rees too and some of my research was used in the book too Royal Exile.
I've known Skender Zogu many years, and knew King Zog's niece Teri Doshishti Cooper, and still keep in touch with her family.
I found the lives and histories in exile of King Zog's Bodyguards and families really interesting. Thank you for your posting! Regards, LR ('Ruhije') - UK
