Summary/Abstract: The Yugoslav Royal Government, having gone abroad, was accepted by the Allies as the only constitutional representative of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The reputation acquired by the events of March 27th additionally helped the Government and King Petar to be regarded as the holders of the national continuity of the Yugoslav state. With the recognition of the Government, the integrity of the territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was acknowledged. The Royal Government was in favour of continuing the struggle against the occupying forces and therefore was accepted as a government of an Allied state. In a statement issued at the end of June 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill confirmed that the Government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia retained all the attributes of the sovereign power.
