HRH Prince Leka

The head of the Albanian Royal family, Crown Prince Leka II, has revealed on social media that he has a new girlfriend just seven months after a messy split with his wife of eight years, whom he accused of physically assaulting him.

Leka is the grandson of the first and last king of the Albanians, the splendidly named King Zog, who ruled from 1928, when an Albanian monarchy was declared with the support of Mussolini’s Italy, until 1939, when the country was invaded, again by Mussolini.
