Knightley Steps Into Diana Movie Row...
Keira Knightley has defended her new movie The Duchess after images
of late royal Diana, Princess Of Wales were included in the trailer for
the film.
In the new movie, Knightley plays Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire,
a distant relation of Diana - who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
The promo for The Duchess sparked outrage by showing pictures of
the late Princess and emphasizing the link between the film's lead
character and her modern-day descendant.
The trailer, which is currently being shown in cinemas ahead of the
movie's release next month, shows juxtaposed images of Knightley's
character and Princess Diana and reads: "The two were related by
ancestry and united by destiny."
And Knightley has stepped into the debate about the promo - insisting her character should not be compared to the late royal.
She says, "I am Georgiana. I am not Diana. The film is not about Diana."
