I thought the family was not officially recognized by the republic of Albania. Why did they receive an ambassador?

From Prince Leka's interview with Royal Central last year:
Quote:
RC: Also, speaking of Her Majesty Margareta, I realise that you are both in the same position, as is Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia: you are titular monarchs, although you live in republics in a sort of alternative universe in which the republic tolerates the royal house as an institution that is helpful for the country and which has the respect of the society at large. What are the similarities and differences between your position and the positions of the other two royals I mentioned?
L: In 2003, the Albanian parliament passed a law which gave a special status to the Royal Family, and since then, it has been our task to ensure that we are serving the nation. In a republic, it is essential that we are present and adding stability, being a trusted symbol of unity, in the fray of the current political polarized diversity which has now become Albanian politics. We are also active through the Queen Geraldine Foundation, which allows us to have hands-on initiatives.
I have also accompanied the Albanian President on State visits; last year, for example, we visited the Principality of Monaco with President, H.E Ilir Meta. I also remain active in the foreign diplomatic core represented in Tirana. We have cultivated trust and continue to build bridges as we strive to define our role as part of the Albanian society. But in a critical view, I believe that there are still opportunities to do more. I would want to help promote Albania abroad and change the misconceptions about Albania’s image, which don’t reflect the reality of the country today.

So whilst it's not as well known as Romania's quasi official status, it seems they also have some official acknowledgement that allows them to "officially" meet ambassadors and other activities.

The Journalist of the "The Atlantic" met Prince Leka in Tirana:
"Among Europe’s Ex-Royals
What do the descendants of dethroned monarchs have to offer the continent in the 21st century?"

Prince Leka:
"It was a special honor that we met and welcomed
Dr. Henry Marsh in Albania. I joined the students of the Faculty of Medicine at Mother Teresa Hospital to attend a lecture on "The Moral Dilemma of Being in the Medical Profession." Very necessary and penetrating.
A special thanks to Prof. Mentor Petrela also honored by the presence of Her Excellency, Mrs. Yuri Kim!"
