the duchess!



The British actress Keira Knightley, who has done a lot of movies, like pride and prejudice, has done her last film some months ago: the duchess. She has rejected claims that this historical drama set in the 18th century imitates the life of Princess Diana. She explaines that the film tells true life story of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who was the great-great-great-great aunt of Diana, so their relation wasn't really nearvy.

In the movie Keira plays an aristocratic woman who is married to a man who is in love with his mistress. It's this part of the film which paparazzi and critics say that mimics the experiences of Princess Diana, who was trapped in a marriage to Prince Charles who always had a clandestine relationship with another woman.

Keira spoke to the BBC and played down the similarities in the stories, saying that her character was interesting enough to warrant a film about her, without the necessity of imite nobody. Keyra also said: "I was eleven when Diana died, so I don't really know what the actual story is, so I don't feel I can comment on the parallels"

I not really agree with this sentence because I think that maybe it's true that she was so young when Diana died, but If she wants she can find a lof of information without the need of lived throw this moment

whether the Diana connection exists or not, The Duchees demonstrates a profound look into personal relationship in a society where divorce was a taboo topic. The film also provides a good look about the architecture and fashions of 18th Century in England.
