I have only seen a few Russian royalty being interviewed or featured in articles. Where do these people live and work? Is it a matter of money that they are not in the Jet Set or do they prefer to keep as you indicate a low profile?

Members of the cadet branches of the Imperial Family can be found in Australia, the United States, Canada, South America and Europe. To my knowledge they work, eat and live as every day citizens having 'normal' jobs, paying mortgages and saving for their holidays

How did you hear about that? If it was from a book or documentary do you mind giving the title? I would love to read/watch it.

I can't remember, but in all honesty it's just how it is. A lot of them are really lowkey and prefer to only drag out the orders and titles for charity events to impress potential donors. It's a smart thing to do since it keeps them off the radar and keeps the social climbers away.
