Lady Alexandra had affairs with Jock Whitney, Michael Lubbock, Walter Monckton, and Charles Duncombe, 3rd Earl of Feversham.

[citation needed] Before World War II she earned the sobriquet Baba Blackshirt, and for a while played a murky role as a semiwitting go-between for her brother-in-law Oswald Mosley and her other lover at the time, Dino Grandi, Benito Mussolini's ambassador to London, while simultaneously enjoying the romantic devotion of the foreign secretary, Lord Halifax, who was staying at the same Dorchester Hotel as Alexandra and her sister.
