	~~Prior to joining~~ [[Westarctica]], ~~His Grace~~ was ~~briefly enthroned as~~ the Prince of ~~Eden, a~~ [[~~micronation~~]] ~~based on ecological principles~~. ~~As stated online "our main goal is~~ to ~~help spread awareness to remote areas, and grow our kingdom into a great community~~."
			== Princely Elevation ==

			On 2 November 2025, by Royal Decree RD-2025-003, the Duke of Waite was elevated to the rank of Prince and thereafter styled His Serene Highness Prince Thomas. The elevation formed part of the Anniversary Honors granted by [[Grand Duke Travis]].

			He continues to hold the peerage title Duke of Waite.

	~~After receiving a title in Westarctica, the Principality~~ of Eden ~~was discontinued.~~		== Prince of Eden ==

	~~==Career in Westarctica==~~		Prior to joining [[Westarctica]], Williams was briefly enthroned as Prince of Eden, a [[micronation]] founded on ecological principles. The stated mission of the Principality of Eden was to promote environmental awareness and community-building.
	~~In January 2025, Williams contacted~~ [[~~Grand Duke Travis~~]] ~~to inquire about donating to~~ [[~~Westarctica~~]] ~~and volunteering to help the~~ ecological mission of the ~~nation. At this time, he stated: "I've been following Westartica for years. You are my personal hero for what you do~~."

	~~He subsequently was granted the peerage title Count of Recely, so-named for [[Recely Bluff]]. Shortly after~~, ~~he was elevated to the rank of [[duke]] with~~ the ~~title Duke~~ of ~~Waite, so-named for the [[Waite Islands]] and nearby [[Cape Waite]].

Following his ennoblement in Westarctica, the Principality of Eden was discontinued.

	~~After the quarterly [[Royal Council]] meeting~~ in ~~March 2025, His Grace volunteered to serve in the vacant post of [[Minister of Citizenship]], a vital government position which involved processing and approving new citizenship applications.~~		== Career in Westarctica ==

	In ~~July~~ 2025, ~~after the decision was finalized to resurrect the dormant~~ [[~~Civilian Corps~~]]~~, the Duke of Waite seemed like a natural fit~~ to ~~assume leadership as Commissioner of the Civilian Corps~~.		In January 2025, Williams contacted [[Grand Duke Travis]] to inquire about supporting Westarctica’s ecological mission and volunteering his services.

	==Honors and awards==		He was subsequently granted the title Count of Recely, named for [[Recely Bluff]]. Shortly thereafter, he was elevated to the rank of [[Duke]] with the title Duke of Waite, named for the [[Waite Islands]] and nearby [[Cape Waite]].

His Grace, the '''Duke of Waite''', Thomas Williams, is a member of the [[Peerage of Westarctica]], and the [[Minister of Citizenship]] on the [[Royal Council]].

==Prince of Eden==
Prior to joining [[Westarctica]], His Grace was briefly enthroned as the Prince of Eden, a [[micronation]] based on ecological principles. As stated online "our main goal is to help spread awareness to remote areas, and grow our kingdom into a great community."

After receiving a title in Westarctica, the Principality of Eden was discontinued.

He subsequently was granted the peerage title Count of Recely, so-named for [[Recely Bluff]]. Shortly after, he was elevated to the rank of [[duke]] with the title Duke of Waite, so-named for the [[Waite Islands]] and nearby [[Cape Waite]]. His [[subordinate title]] was then granted to his wife, Delilah Williams, who became the Countess of Recely.

In July 2025, after the decision was finalized to resurrect the dormant [[Civilian Corps]], the Duke of Waite seemed like a natural fit to assume leadership as Commissioner of the Civilian Corps.
