King congratulates Nene Royal
His Majesty the King congratulated Rattikarn “Preaw” Amloy, known as “Nene Royal”, winner of America’s Got Talent 2026.
At 5:09pm on Friday, King and Queen of Thailand welcomed Ms Rattikarn and her family to Ambara Villa in Dusit Palace, Bangkok. Accompanied by Phuket Governor Chotnarin Kerdsom, the royal couple granted an audience to the young talent.
During the meeting, Ms Rattikarn presented her victory certificate to His Majesty, who showed his appreciation. "I am very pleased and proud to see you display your talents. I watched the show and wanted to congratulate you. Please maintain your skills," the King expressed.
Returning the certificate as a keepsake, the King praised the 16-year-old Nene Royal for her musical prowess. Hailing from Phuket, the young guitarist had honed her craft since the age of seven. Performing at local venues, her rendition of "Zombie" by The Cranberries during America’s Got Talent 2026 captivated all four judges, securing unanimous approval and catapulting her to sudden stardom.
