Yes, sadly she was killed with the rest of her family. Evidence was eventually found.

Can you be more specific? Are you talking about Princess Anastasia Mikhailovna? I'm not sure if there is another Russian Princess named Anastasia... I believe she was in her 40s when the Revolutions happened, not sure what happened to her...
I did some checking on Google for you. I must commend you, it isn't everyday one hears questions about the Princess, especially on this board.
This board is about a film based on Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicholaievna Romanova, not Princess Anastasia Mikhailovna, but since you are so curious about her I will indulge you with her a few basic facts.
She was born in 1860, and died in 1922 at the age of 61. She was the daughter of course of Grand Duke Mikhail, and managed to escape the country. She died in France.
Now the question about her family being killed in the revolution baffles me; Princess Anastasia's father was NOT Grand Duke Mikhail Anexandrovich, the Tzar's brother, but Grand Duke Mikhail NIKOLAIEVICH, very distant relations of Tzar Nicholai and his family. She was actually able to escape the Revolution; she wasn't even there when it happened. Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaievich was the son of Tzar Nicholai I (not II, just to clarify). He was born in 1832 and died in 1909, 8 years before the Revolution. His wife died in 1891, also before the Revolution.
So there you have it. I'm not sure why these people who responded below thought you were talking about a Russian Princess Anastasia who died in the Revolution with her family; there were no Princess Anastasias from Russia at the time of the Revolution who actually resided in the country.
Now, there was a Grand Duchess, though, a daughter of Tzar Nikolai II, named Anastasia, but of course she was certainly not a princess; she had a much higher rank than that.

I know that, I was pointing out their inaccuracy in a humorous way.

In the most obnoxious and condescending way possible, you mean. Get over yourself.
They call her "Princess Anastasia" in the movie, and her name could also be translated as such: "Anastasia's title is most precisely translated as "Grand Princess", meaning that Anastasia, as an "Imperial Highness" was higher in rank than other princesses in Europe who were "Royal Highnesses". "Grand Duchess" became the most widely used translation of the title into English from Russian."

No you weren't, you were needlessly adding confusion to a very simple request. In other words you were blathering for your own sake.

You ought to concern yourself more with the inaccuracy in the blatantly dishonest way in which you refer to Lenin's bloody dictatorship coup as a "Revolution".
shareIt wasn't humorous, it was obnoxious. Do everyone a favor and get hit by a bus.
shareYes and sadly they ID her bones. She died with her family that night.
shareYes. She never escaped. She was executed with everyone else.
