His Royal Highness Prince Notonegoro (Prince Notonegoro) is a professional at United Nations, New York, United States. He is the spouse of Princess Hayu of Yogyakarta. Princess Hayu is a Princess of Yogyakarta Sultanate, daughter of His Majesty Sultan Hamengkubuwono X and Her Majesty Queen Hemas.
Noto was born as Angger Pribadi Wibowo from Father Colonel Sigim Machmud and mother Raden Ayu (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.
Noto attended high school in SMA 3 Padmanaba Yogyakarta, the same high school that his wife, Princess Hayu, attended. 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.
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.
Noto proposed to Hayu on 20 June 2013. The engagement ceremony received heavy public attention. 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 Noto to help her daughter attending new school in the US. Noto 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.
