The Albanian monarchy was overthrown in 1939 when King Zog fled the country following an invasion by Mussolini's Italy. Since the death of King Zog in 1961, The pretender and head of the House of Zogu was Zog's son Leka, Crown Prince of Albania, until his death in 2011. Leka has one son, Prince Leka of Albania (b. 1982) - the current pretender.

Following this the line of succession is unclear, however, if Prince Leka II dies without issue it is expected he[who?] shall appoint a cousin of his father's, Skënder Zogu to become head of the House of Zogu and, therefore, claimant to the Throne.
