Albanian Royal Divorce Turns Ugly

Posted by karenl on March 7, 2024, 7:27 pm

"Crown Prince Leka II has sought police intervention following an alleged incident of domestic violence involving his ex-wife and ex-father-in-law.

A video surfaced online on Tuesday of Leka, 41, allegedly involved in a physical altercation with Princess Elia, 41, and her father, Gjergj Polikron Zaharia, 73.

It comes two months after the pair, who share a three-year-old daughter, Princess Geraldine, announced the end of their marriage, saying that the union had 'lost its function'.

The Palace issued a statement after a clip of the fight surfaced online and claimed Leka was 'physically attacked with strong objects by his ex-wife and ex-father-in-law' and had handed the video to the police as evidence.

Elia broke her silence on the 'terrible' conflict on Wednesday and claimed her involvement in the fight was merely her trying to stop it, according to Albanian Daily News."

I hate this, it's bad enough that this happening between the couple, who are educated enough to know better, but there's a child involved. Her father should have known better, too. Emotions get super inflamed.

This is bad for the little princess. That video will come back to haunt her.

Yeah, not the way adults are supposed to behave.

It’s a shame. Their wedding was beautiful. I thought it would last.

Some of the royal separation announcements make me giggle. The “union lost its function” and “an interruption of the marriage relationship” come to mind.

I know, Gwyneth Paltrow's "conscious uncoupling", seriously? Just make an announcement like the great unwashed public.."Sadly, we're separating/divorcing."

I guess it's supposed to sugar coat the fact that a marriage is ending.
