Greek-Australian photographer captures the colourful mosaic of Darwin
During our recent trip in Darwin, we knew we had to pay Georgia Politis a visit; A Greek-Australian photographer whose work is entangled with the history of the city's community. Born and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory, her love of photography seems destined to blossom. From her first award during her high school years, to the day her husband gave her first camera, Georgia Politis' talent has developed into much more than just a hobby. Opening the doors of her studio, the young photographer refers to her origins, saying that she, her sisters and her parents were born in Darwin, while her grandparents come from the Peloponnese, Kalymnos, Crete and Kos. Darwin is a very multicultural place, especially with the Greeks. So it's about telling the stories of how we got here Georgia Politis – Photographer Growing up in Darwin, in a strong Greek community, she grew up with Greek dances, Greek events and often Greek family picnics and dinners. "My real name was Georgia Tomazos. My family came from the Peloponnese, Kos, Crete and Kalymnos. We have been here since the late 1960s and my families never left. My grandparents from both sides came to work, make a family and stayed," she said. Talking about her passion for photography and the first recognition she gained, she says that always had that bug inside her. Whether it was painting, drawing or photography. Growing up, her husband fulfilled her wish by buying her first camera. Through it, she began to take photos and portraits of her family, with no intention of doing it professionally, she says: 'My first camera was a Polaroid when I was eight years old. I did a lot of arts and crafts. So I won art awards in school, painting, drawing that sort of stuff. And then kept trying to do photography every now and then. I kept forgetting because of my studies or work. And then my husband bought me a camera in 201. I did events and family photos, and it just started by accident', she notes. Georgia Politis recently released her own photo series, 'Darwin DiverCity', which captures the stories of ordinary people living in her city. In this photo tribute, she captures the diversity of the community and the contribution of the Greek diaspora to the multicultural mosaic of the Northern Territory. The Darwin DiverCity series, as she notes, started by accident, just like her business, photographing 55 people and recording 55 different stories, while celebrating the diversity of the Northern Territory and the stories of its people. 'Darwin is a very multicultural place, especially with the Greeks. So it is about telling the stories of how we got here, why we came here 'cause a lot of people don't know. My generation, a lot of us don't know. So, it was really nice to learn about how, you know, some Greek families came here in the 1920s, or most of them between 1950 and 1960. And then learning about, what they went through, through Cyclone Tracy, what they went through for other things like, wars and coming from wars and then also about their culture," she said.

Prince Harry explores severing royal ties by adopting Princess Diana's surname
Prince Harry reportedly explored dropping his royal surname in favour of Spencer, the maiden name of his late mother, Princess Diana, as tensions with the royal family continue to simmer. According to sources who spoke with the Daily Mail, the 40-year-old royal 'actively explored ways to assume his mother's surname' and even raised the idea with his uncle, Charles Earl Spencer, during a recent trip to the UK. 'They had a very amicable conversation,' a friend of Harry's told the outlet. 'Spencer advised him against taking such a step,' citing the legal and logistical difficulties that would come with abandoning the Mountbatten-Windsor name. Had he gone ahead, the move would have marked a significant break from the royal identity passed down through generations. The name Mountbatten-Windsor is a blend of Queen Elizabeth II's royal family name and Prince Philip's adopted surname, chosen when he became a naturalised British citizen and relinquished his Greek and Danish royal titles in 1947. The name traces back to Philip's maternal uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, a major influence on both Philip and King Charles III. Prince Harry, born Henry Charles Albert David, has rarely used a surname publicly, instead going by titles. During his school years and military service, he and his brother William used the surname Wales, based on their father's title, the then Prince of Wales. In uniform, Harry was known simply as 'Harry Wales'. He became the Duke of Sussex in 2018, a title granted by Queen Elizabeth II upon his marriage to Meghan Markle, who then became the Duchess of Sussex. Despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan has publicly embraced 'Sussex' as the family name, saying she wanted to share a surname with her children. In an episode of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan, she corrected guest Mindy Kaling: 'It's so funny you keep saying 'Meghan Markle', you know I'm Sussex now.' 'You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children',' she added. 'It just means so much to go, this is OUR family name. Our little family name'. Controversy recently flared over claims Meghan has used the 'HRH' title privately, despite an agreement with Buckingham Palace to forgo the styling. The dispute emerged after a friend received a gift basket accompanied by a card signed, 'HRH The Duchess of Sussex.' Prince Harry remains publicly estranged from senior members of the royal family but has expressed a desire to reconcile. In a May interview following the rejection of his legal appeal regarding UK security arrangements, he told the BBC, 'There have been so many disagreements between me and some of my family… Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there's no point in continuing to fight anymore.' 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has,' he added. 'He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.'
