Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on Hana Benešová, one of the most significant female figures of the first half of the 20th century, and her role in the internal functioning and external reflection of the presidential “court” in exile in Great Britain during the Second World War. To a great extent, it highlights the continuity with the pre-war period. Emphasis is also placed on the elements of standard royal courts that are identical to those of the republican court.
