Crown Prince Leka of Albania has formally announced his engagement to Blerta Celibashi. This is an important time for the Albanian royal family. The pair got engaged on Saturday, October 10, 2025, in the stunning coastal town of Ksamil, Southern Albania. Family and close friends packed the private space. Their performance set a beautiful and uplifting tone as each guest offered their love and encouragement to the newlyweds embarking on this exciting new chapter in their life.
Blerta Celibashi, aka the future Crown Princess of the Albanians, brought poise and grace to the crowning ceremony. She just upped the glamour quotient by donning a stunning champagne colored, floor length dress that matched her regal vibes. In the days leading up to the engagement party, Celibashi documented her preparations on Instagram. She made it all look easy—because she did look easy and smart in her white blouse and dark-wash jeans.
In her social media posts, she provided an intimate look into her getting-ready process, highlighting the care she put into her appearance. A behind-the-scenes clip featured her prepping with makeup artist Kelli J. Bartlett, who conjured up a barefaced, radiant aesthetic fit for the festive partnership. Significantly, Celibashi made sure to oversee her own makeup, going so far as to apply her own mascara, showcasing her personal and creative attention to detail.
The engagement was confirmed by the Albanian Royal Court with an official statement: “The Royal Court is pleased to announce the engagement of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Leka II of the Albanians and Miss Blerta Celibashi.”
The Royal Family expressed their happiness with the announcement, stating, “The Royal Family shares their happiness with the Albanian people and extends heartfelt gratitude to all who have conveyed their kind wishes on this joyful occasion.” The vibrancy of the community reflects this sentiment. Finally, it underscores just how important this engagement is for both the British royal family and the Albanian public—including their diaspora.
Blerta Celibashi joined Prince Leka on her first official engagement at the Queen Géraldine Foundation shortly after their appointment. It was not until their September 2024 wedding that the couple went public with their relationship. This announcement delighted millions of royal watchers and supporters nationwide.
Blerta Celibashi smiled for pictures at the engagement party. Adding to her regal presence was her chic interpretation of the classic French twist updo. The jubilant gatherings on the October 11 wedding date reunited family and friends to celebrate the couple’s love, faithfulness and new life.
