Early life

[edit]

Notonegoro was born "Angger Pribadi Wibowo" from father Colonel Sigim Machmud and mother Raden Ayu (a Javanese royal title equal to Countess) Nusye Retnowati. Born in an Armed Force family, Notonegoro had to have a quite nomadic life due to his parents’ duty. Having been born in Jakarta on 27 December 1973, he spent his childhood in various cities, including Jakarta, Bandung, Tangerang, Cimahi, Ambarawa, Salatiga, and Yogyakarta.[citation needed]

Notonegoro went to the same high school as his future bride, Princess Hayu, in SMA 3 Padmanaba Yogyakarta. While in his high school, the high-tension political situation in the Middle East had drawn his interest to the dynamics of international politics. That was the reason he decided to study International Relations at Gadjah Mada University in 1992. He took that major as he was interested in global issues and international organizations. He also took specialization in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution.[citation needed]

In 2002, Noto continued his study by majoring in International Development at School of Economic Sciences, Washington State University. The reason for taking that major was to expand his knowledge in global issues, particularly development issues including poverty, environment, crisis (conflict/disaster) etc.[citation needed]

Marriage

[edit]

Notonegoro proposed to Princess Hayu on 20 June 2013. The engagement ceremony received heavy public attention.[2] Noto has been dating Hayu for 10 years. They knew each other from young age since Noto's mother Raden Ayu Nusye Retnowati is friend with Queen Hemas. They started dating in the US when Hayu's mother Queen Hemas requested Notonegoro to help her daughter attending new school in the US. Notonegoro who was pursuing a graduate study in the US at that time, met the princess in New York and that's where the romance begun.[3]

Since Hayu was the last one to get married, the wedding was arranged as a cultural event for the people in Yogyakarta. While the previous royal weddings only involve a parade of 5 royal horse carriages, Hayu's wedding present 12 horse carriages to transport all the member of the Royal Family of Yogyakarta.[4] The wedding also manage to boost tourism in Yogyakarta which is a touristic destination in the first place.[5]

[8] Despite his extensive living experience abroad, the prince managed to recite the archaic javanese vow in flawless accent.
