Keira Brings Her Friend To The Duchess Premiere
Keira Knightley and her perfect pout stole the show at the world premiere of The Duchess in London's Leicester Square last night.

Keira And Costars Deal With The Duchess Diana Connection
When I met the stars of The Duchess, Keira Knightley, Dominic Cooper and Hayley Atwell were happy to spill about the sex scenes in the film. Another hot topic was the Diana connection.

Here's an excerpt of the Q+A with Keira Knightley (who plays the eponymous Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire), Dominic Cooper (who plays her extra-marital love interest, Earl Grey) and Hayley Atwell (who plays the third person in Georgiana's marriage, Bess Foster). Come back to PopSugar UK later in the week to see what else the gang had to say about the film, including the Diana connection.
