Rumours of a royal engagement began to spread in September, when the future Princess made her debut at an official event with Crown Prince Leka. Blerta, a professional photographer, joined the Prince on a visit to the Queen<\/a> G\u00e9raldine Foundation, which champions educational initiatives and charitable work across Albania.<\/p>\n
