Succession controversy
As the eldest child of the monarch, Pembayun was the heiress presumptive of the kingdom that would succeed her father. But according to Javanese Succession Act that doesn't allow ladies to succeed the throne, her title as heiress is currently disputed and Pembayun's uncle, Prince Hadikusumo, titled heir presumptive.
The King doesn't want to speak about his daughter and the succession, but the King argued it doesn't against the law to make his daughter the first Javanese queen regnant.[2]
