Keira Knightley talks 'The Duchess'

The day is still fresh, and let's kick off with what Keira Knightley has to say about her role as Georgiana the Duchess of Devonshire in Saul Dibb's "The Duchess," which opens in limited theaters tomorrow. 

ComingSoon attended the recent Toronto press conference, and here is what Knightley had to say about the character she portrays:
