Early life

[edit]
Sultan Hamengkubuwono X's coronation

Ratu Hemas, born as Tatiek Dradjad Supriastuti is the third child and sole daughter of seven siblings. She grew up in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. Her father, Colonel Soepono Digdosastropranoto, was an official in the Indonesia Army who was born in Yogyakarta. Her mother, Raden Nganten Susamtilah Soepono, was a housewife from Wates, Kulonprogo. Hemas went to school in Jakarta until she graduated from High School and continued to pursue her study in the department of Architecture in Trisakti University. She did not finish her studies at the university and was married in 1968.[3][4] Hemas then followed her husband to live in Yogyakarta[3]

Meeting the Sultan Hamengkubuwono X

[edit]

Every year, Tatiek's family has a family tradition to go to her grandfather's house in Soronatan, Yogyakarta. Her grandfather was a retired palace official.[3] In the late 1960s, Tatiek met the oldest son of the late reigning Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX, Herjuno Darpito, who, later on, succeeded his father as Sultan Hamengkubuwono X.[3] At the age of 19 Hemas was married to Herjuno Darpito (6 years older) and left her study in the university.[3] Her name was changed for the first time as Bandara Raden Ayu Mangkubumi, before finally being changed to Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Hemas when Herjuno Darpito ascended the throne and became Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X.[3] She had five daughters; Princess Mangkubumi, Princess Candrakirana, Princess Maduretno, Princess Hayu, and Princess Bendara.[4]
