Princess Jero Asri Kerthyasa (formerly Jane Gillespie of Sydney) is at the centre of Royal Wedding preparations for her son, Prince Tjok Gus. The bride-to-be is an adored Indonesian ‘soapie’ star and the traditional wedding rituals at The Royal Palace of Ubud are a whole new world for her. Supervising proceedings is Asri’s husband, Prince Tjokorda Raka. The youngest son of his father’s tenth wife, he was expected to marry within the Balinese royals but in 1978 married Jane Gillespie, an Australian commoner.
