He is the son of the last crown prince of Yugoslavia, Alexander, and his first wife, Princess Maria da Gloria. He is the fraternal twin of Prince Philip of Yugoslavia. He is the third in the line to the former throne, after his elder brothers.[1] His godparents are Queen Sofía of Spain, King Constantine II of Greece (both first cousins of his father), and Princess Anne, Duchess of Calabria (first cousin of his mother).

Alexander lived in Virginia until 1984. He was educated in London and Canterbury with his twin brother. In June 2000, he completed sixth form at The King's School, Canterbury. He was awarded a BA degree in Communications and Media from the University of San Francisco in 2004.
