Karadjordjevic dynasty came to power for the third time in 1903, after the army officers' coup carried out by the organisation called the "Black Hand".
However, on March 27, 1941, prince Pavle and the royal government were overthrown by a military coup, and young king Petar II was proclaimed of age.
To the question of his future role and the destiny of the monarchy Aleksandar Karadjordjevic himself says that once he came home he would "let things go their own way" and repeated that he did not want revenge but reconciliation and integration of the country into the international community.

Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic was selected to rule, and in May 1919 the Paris Peace Conference officially recognized the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later named the Kingdom of Yugoslavia - yugo meaning south - land of the southern slavs).
Alexander's cousin, Pavle, began to reorganize the government, and appointed a Serb, Milan Stojadinovi, to run the cabinet as Prime Minister.
As war seemed more and more likely, Pavle knew unity was needed, and for the Croat population to be satisfied, some sort of autonomy was required.

For converts, Mr Karadjordjevic's image has fast evolved from that of a foreign know-nothing to that of a worthy royal, in just two years since the Karadjordjevic family returned to the homeland it left as Nazi Germany invaded.

In a letter to Crown Prince Aleksandar Karadjordjevic dated 29 November, Pavle said the communists' ban on the monarchy in 1945 was the result of "unprecedented tyranny" and should be revoked.
The English-born son of the last Yugoslav king said restoring the monarchy is the "right thing to do" and would be "in the interest of the people." It was the first time the prince, who moved back to Belgrade following the ouster of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, has publicly spoken on the issue.
The idea of restoring the constitutional monarchy was last raised in 1999, when it was backed by then-opposition parties and enjoyed the support of some 7 percent to 15 percent of the population.
