Hannah Jones, CEO of the Earthshot Prize spoke about The Prince of Wales and his leadership on the Common Purpose podcast, 'In Pursuit of Good Leadership' with Adi Sengupta.

She said,

“Well, let's be really clear. He doesn't need me to influence him whatsoever. The Prince has his own learning mindset and is the founder of this organization. The reason this vision is what it is. So he teaches me on a daily basis.” “The Prince was asked to come and give a speech to all of the world leaders and the media at COP in Glasgow (2021). And we worked with him and Vinisha, and he got up on the stage and said a few things about the Earthshot Prize and said, but you don't need to hear from me, I'm going to give the floor to Vinisha. And he stepped off the platform and put a 15 year old Indian girl in front of the media, and she freaking nailed it.

And I wept. Because the symbolism behind that was what he was doing very consciously, which was to say, I have a platform, I'm going to use it to put the spotlight on the people that need to be the heroes of the day. And that really is a lot of the ethos behind the Earthshot Prize.”

When the York's moved to Tonopah Valley....

William had been a week away from turning twelve years old. He had been anxious about the move, but overall supportive of whatever his father needed to heal. But Simon and Percy could tell how down he was. And so a tradition was born for the young Sagittarius, born at exactly 7am on November 24, 1985. On the morning of his twelfth birthday, at 6am, Percy and Simon stirred Will from bed and they all bundled up and got in the car to drive to Lake Mead. As the sun started to rise close to 7am, they sat on the hood of the car, drinking coffee (or hot chocolate in Will's case) and his father's would cheer as the hour hit, celebrating his arrival into the world, re-defining that day in 1985 for Will all over again.

The morning of Will's 38th birthday was no different, except over the years a few guests had been added to the crew that piled into the car while it was still dark out. As Will got older, he always found himself waking up earlier and earlier on his birthday, preparing more to leave with. What had once been hot chocolate and coffee was now coffee and breakfast sandwiches and whatever pastries could be piled into a box at that time of the morning. This year, like many others, Theo and Chloe were already in the kitchen with Percy and Simon (not that Theo had ever left the house) and they all piled onto him with hugs as soon as they saw him. To be surrounded by love was something that humbled him every day. But especially on his birthday.

There was always a moment during his birthday where he couldn't help but wonder about his birth parents. 38 years later and he still wondered about his first year of life, of what it must have been like when his biological parents held him in their arms. If they thought of him on this day or if it was just another day in November for them. Every year he tried to forget and every year he found the thought lingering in the back of his mind despite how joy filled the day was.

This year would include his usual lunch with Logan, a constant of theirs, a little moment for the two of them to giggle and gossip. A pause in the midst of a full day to enjoy a good meal with someone who brought out the silliest parts of him, the parts that reminded him he really was just some dude on this spinning rock. It was a moment to be reminded that he really did have the most special people in his life.

Which was exactly why the afternoon and evenings were truly for the boys. An afternoon ride through town with Cole and Nate, a dinner they'd never treat themselves too on the regular and mounds of dessert by the time the rest of the guys joined them. All to be rounded out by as many drinks as he could handle at the Outpost, blushing as Beau made a thing of letting everyone in the bar know it was Will's birthday. Which was usually how he got the most free drinks and Beau got a decent profit for the night. Laughter and shoulder pats, big hugs and endless teasing. A true loved filled day, celebrating a man who was trying his hardest to truly reflect that love back on himself.

Which is why in order to continue the good feelings of the day, Will fixed his fingers to inquire whether a certain surgeon was free at that latest of hours so he could enter the next year of his life wrapped up in the kind of warmth he wanted to have with him all the time. And a few other things that didn't need to be put into words.

And yet, Will's mind still wandered to the things that were missing. The people that were missing and he found himself wishing that one day, one year, it would all come back to him. Until then, he would be deeply grateful for what he still had. And my god, was it a whole lot of love.

What do you think about Will just before the "Choices" talk with Jack on AWE left Beckett 'breadcrumbs'? Do you think he would betray all the pirates by taking him to Shipwreck Cove? It would certainly make Lizzie hate him, I think. Do you think that in a way Will's making the "right choice" in the end having deceived Jones and choosing to marry Elizabeth was largely influenced by Jack? Because I think he was more than determined to choose to save his father and betray all the pirates...

// I think at this point Will was in a desperate situation. From his point of view, all pirates had done for him was betray him and use him. He had no guarantee that Jack had intended to free him from Jones and he felt alone in that everyone had this grand plan that others were following. He was bitter, frustrated, and dearly wanted to save his father to reclaim some of the time he had lost. He was angry with Elizabeth for keeping secrets and had spent so long believing she was in love with Jack and that he'd never been good enough for her. She seemed so determined for him to be this fantastical pirate that he tried to be 'more like Jack' but even Jack proved disappointing and fallible so he was willing to be more ruthless. He wanted to be the right sort of pirate for himself and Elizabeth and to do his own thing since no one else seemed to care.

I think, whilst a part of him hoped he could bargain with Beckett and Jones to get everything he wanted, he knew they couldn't be trusted. One path would be to get himself and Elizabeth free from everything and sod the pirates, which she would have hated him for, but as much as he began to despise Jack he also bought into the legend of him, that if Jack had been fine with him committing this betrayal, the man had a plan. He banked on Jack doing something but kept backup options of bargains, with his final last ditch option likely being stabbing Jones' heart himself as soon as he got the chance. One way or another he was probably going to end up following his destiny.

What truly solidifies Will's choices is the Parley scene on the beach. He still has his options open until that moment. Once he sees Elizabeth is Pirate King, it tells him that Jack isn't being entirely selfish (even though he's manipulated Liz where he needed her) and that Liz is capable of being in control of a side he wasn't sure whether to trust. At first, it's Elizabeth herself that draws his trust but he realises it was Jack who made it happen. He also realises that Jack has a plan and by that point he doesn't much care if Jack's going to do away with Jones for him.

tl;dr Yes I think he would have betrayed everyone for the sake of trying to save himself, his father, and Elizabeth, all whom he deemed innocents, but Elizabeth and Jack proved themselves and won him back. He was content to follow once he had faith in something again.
