Even as the world recovers from what was hyped as the royal wedding of the decade, a special commemorative bottle of whisky issued to mark Prince William’s birthday will be auctioned this week. The auction will be held on June 21 at Phuket, off the south-west coast of Thailand.

To commemorate Prince William’s birth on June 21, 1982, an exclusive, limited range of whiskey bottles was created and gifted in porcelain bell shaped bottle to select countries. Now, a well-known Phuket collector, Khun Weak Naknan, who has collected more than one hundred different commemorative whiskys over the years, is auctioning the precious bottle on the Prince’s birthday. In a somewhat ironic twist, Mr Khun Weak Naknan has pledged that the proceeds from the auction will go towards Phuket’s Vachira Hospital–to aid patients suffering from alcohol-related conditions.

Collectors interested in royal memorabilia, take note: the auction will start at 4:30 pm at beach dinery Joe’s Downstairs in Patong. Oh, and happy birthday, William!
