Leka, Crown Prince of Albania (Leka Skënder Zogu; 5 April 1939 – 30 November 2011) was the only son of King Zog I and Queen Geraldine of Albania. He was called Crown Prince Skander at birth. After his father's death in 1961, Leka was the pretender to the Albanian throne, and his supporters referred to him as King Leka I.[1]
