[Noble Consort Ming]

I am surprised to see Leka and Elia at a wine festival. I thought the royal family was Muslim and would therefore abstain from alcohol. I'm not sure how much they practice the faith but I would assume Leka would be observant as the crown prince at least to set an example to people.

 

[principessa]

Maybe they are (finally) married.

The following link provides a post of the official facebook page of HRH Prince Leka of Albania. There it is written that Leka and Elia attended a event. Elia is there called "Princess Elia".

What are your thoughts? Could they have married secretly?

 

[eya]

There is no way to have married secretly. I just think that the reported as princess. Besides the official website referred to as Elia Zaharia . Why do hidden wedding?

 

[Blog Real]

I think they don't get married in secret. But it could be a índicio that will marry soon.

 

[LadyFinn]

Elia has said to the media on her visit in Kosovo on 3rd June, that the wedding will be this year, but not on 15th September like had been rumoured. At least the Google translation says so.
Elia Zaharia: Këtë vit do martohem me Princin Leka, ja disa detaje të dasmës

AFAIK Geraldine was made a Princess a day before she wed King Zog. So maybe he 'granted' her the title before a wedding?

You mean that they're still going to marry in the year 2015?
Then, I count on a winter wedding

 

[eya]

I believe that wedding in 2015 should forget it.

 

[Fürstin Taxis]

^Three month later and we near the end of 2015 and indeed no wedding lol.

I had said in my another post here in a bit funny that "Maybe waiting for the restoration of the monarchy first" but will eventually begin to believe it

Lets see at 2016 what happen

 

[Biri]

Mabe they will marry when Elia gets pregnant.

Interview Prince Leka

 

[Bonnie Blue Butler]

From what I understood from this interview, Leka said that their wedding will be public, but not as big as everybody thinks. They identify with the times that Albanians live nowadays, so a big wedding wouldn't be appropriate.

No mention of the wedding date.

 

[eya]

I hope next time you hear about this marriage be the definition of the date.
