Keira Knightley is on an adventure as a Duchess in a cage! Her latest role is as The Duchess Georgiana Spencer of Devonshire in the movie The Duchess.
She stars alongside Ralph Fiennes in the movie that depicts the life of a royal couple who have the love life of two chilled hot water bottles!
In not so many words, the movie focuses on Georgiana who simply can't accept her social role as a loveless baby-maker and takes a bold step of reaching out to her old lover Charles!
The story sounds intriguing and should make a suspense-full movie, but according to many critics it's not as explosive as it should be! I've even come across a report that says the movie focuses on the costumes more than on the character conflict!

There are a few points worth mentioning about The duchess herself;
She was loved by the public, suffered from a loveless marriage, was the center of lots of rumors and affairs and tried to escape her cold reality by getting busy with social causes ... doesn't she sound very familiar? she's much like Princess Diana, who was a Spencer too! Interesting ha?
