Alexandra was born while they were in exile in Great Britain; they returned to Russia after the 1917 revolution and lived there until her father's death, after which she emigrated to New York. Although her father had disowned his royal title, Alexandra reclaimed it by writing a women's column for the magazine Liberty under the byline "Princess Alexandra Kropotkin". She also translated Russian literature into English and wrote a Russian cookbook that The New York Times considered "best-in-class".
