Phuket youth Nene Royal receives royal certificate for filial devotion

Phuket youth Rattikan Amlai, known as “Nene Royal”, has received a royal certificate recognising her gratitude and devotion to her mother.

Nene received the certificate in the student category at the opening ceremony for National Mother’s Day 2026 on August 12 at Exhibition Hall 6, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi. It was presented by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, The Princess Royal.

Nene said she was delighted to receive the honour on National Mother’s Day because it gave her an opportunity to express her love and gratitude to her mother.

She said her mother had consistently offered advice and provided a safe space for her to discuss problems. That support had strengthened her relationship with her family and reinforced her belief that family was the most important part of her life.

“My mother is the person I love very much, and I am hardly ever apart from her. Even when I travel overseas with my father, I always call and talk to her,” Nene said.

“She is full of passion, and wherever I go, she is always by my side and supports me.”

Nene has also attracted attention for her performance on America’s Got Talent Season 21, where she brought her talents to an international audience.

Her royal recognition comes as she continues to represent Phuket as one of the province’s young talents, with her achievements reflecting both her own efforts and the support she says she has received from her family.
