From prince Leka's Facebook a couple of days ago
On the occasion of the 77 wedding anniversary of King Zog and Queen Geraldine, Miss Elia Zaharia and the British Ambassadors wife, Mrs Alice Cannon, organized a special cocktail at the Albanian Royal Court. The theme of the event was inspired by: The hats of the 1930-s, and realized by the very talented hat designer Njomeza Luci, who created a collection called "The White Rose".
In honor of the ladies of the 1930-s period a photo exposition was shown to guest.

It is strange that Elia Zaharia is taking part in all those official activities, but yet they don't set a date for their wedding. How long have they been engaged? It seems like ages to me.

They are engaged since 2010.

[Tilia C.]

Fife years?! Don't they want to start a family? I would have thought that Leka would be keen on having an heir.

[Biri]

The more that they both are in their thirties already.

Maybe waiting for the restoration of the monarchy first.

In this albanian article from last September, which I posted earlier, it is told that they are getting married in September 2015. The article tells that Leka said at an interview that they are getting married in September and are planning to have a wedding with royal guests.

So if they are getting married in September, they should release the date soon. We just have to wait.

[Tilia C.]

Thank you, LadyFinn! I will look out for them setting the date. It will be interesting to see at what scale the wedding will be celebrated. Probably several balkan royals will be invited.

TillaC,
Do you think they still have their jewels ?
Queen Geraldine and Queen Susan ??

[Tilia C.]

I don't know, Maria-Olivia. But you know me well enough to guess that I have asked myself this question.

Both ladies had tiaras with a goat motive. If they had turned up at auction they would probably have been recognized. But they might have been sold privately. I don't know much about their financial situation. It is possible that Leka has managed to hold on to at least one of the tiaras. At least I hope so.

Maybe we see what tiara wore elia to the wedding.

[LadyFinn]

Elia has given a long interview to albanian magazine Class. It says that Leka said at a telecast that September is the best month for weddings and it was interpreted that he meant his own wedding.
Now at the interview (Google translated) Elia says that they haven't decided a day yet. She also says that the invitations should go abroad six months before the wedding and everything should be almost ready then, so I guess she means that there will not be any wedding this year.

When you have to use a translator, you always think if it translates everything correctly.

When i see news from Albanian Royal Family immediately think of is to wedding but it was just some photos beautiful of course but you know Disappointment

[Tilia C.]

I always think the same. Leka and Elia seem to have a stable, lasting relationship, so I wonder why they decided on such a long engagement.
