Leka Zogu II aims new referendum - Rajoni - Independent News Agency - Kosova Press - Latest News from Kosovo

In an interview for the Russian newspaper ‘Ekho planety’, brought into Albanian language by “Shekulli” newspaper, the political advisor to the president of the Republic, Prince Leka Zogu, in reply to the question “Have you taken into consideration the perspective of restoring the monarchy in your country?”, he said that “I do not know what are the perspectives for restoring the monarchy in my country, however the current prime minister Sali Berisha and his predecessor Fatos Nano have constantly shown that the issue of referendum remains open”.

I have also seen pictures of them with the Russian and Georgian royal families who were living in Spain at the same time as them too. Leka I was at Maria Vladimira's wedding along with the Bulgarians, Georgians, and Spanish, etc. Recently, I have seen Leka II with Prince Andrew of Great Britain which was work related not social.

Albania to repatriate remains of former royal < French news | Expatica France

Remains of King Zog to be reburied in Tirana on 17 November

Albania will repatriate the remains of King Zog I from France, where he died in exile in 1961, government spokeswoman Erla Mehilli told AFP Wednesday. An official burial will be held November 17 in the capital Tirana at a cemetery where other members of the royal family are already interred.

In Tirana the government will organise the burial ceremony. In December 2011 the pretender to the Albanian crown, the Crown Prince Leka, was given a burial "with all royal attributes" despite the fact that Albania is now a republic.

Zog ruled Albania from 1925 until 1939. He started out as president but in 1928 proclaimed a constitutional monarchy and was crowned King of the Albanians. He fled the country in 1939 after Italy invaded. He died in exile in France aged 66 and was buried in the Thiais cemetery.

The Albanian Royal family attended the exhumation of HM King Zog at Thiais cemetery, Paris, France, led by HRH Prince Leka II Zogu.
In Tirana, Albania, for the laying in state ceremony and the reburial of HM King Zog, the family were again led by HRH Prince Leka, with his fiancee Elia Zaharia, and cousins of the extended Zogu/Zoga family (descendants of H.E Xhemal Pasha Zogolli and H.E General Zia Pasha Zogolli) - Skender Zogu from France, and Muammer Ergun Zoga, Berna Kizilay Zoga, and Belcin Zoga, from Istanbul, Turkey.

Who of you think that European Royal Family members (or members of the world royalty) will attend the wedding of Leka and Elia?

I don't know whether there will be representatives of reigning European houses but I'm pretty sure some of the non-reigning ones will show up. The Romanians royals are virtually a certainty because the Albanian and Romanian royal families have forged a pretty solid relationship in recent years.
