Keira Knightley obsessed with the royals

Keira Knightley is a “big royalist”. The British actress enjoyed watching the recent nuptials of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge — and even bought a special commemorative mug to mark the occasion, though she was sad she couldn’t join in with many other festivities.

“I was drinking tea out of my Kate and William mug. I ran out and bought one when they got engaged. I’m a big royalist,” she said.

“I watched it. I thought she looked lovely, very lovely. London was pretty. Everyone was having street parties but I had to work that night so I didn’t have the chance to go to any but yes, it all looked very lovely.”

Tuning in to watch the royal wedding was a particularly rare event for the Last Night star — because she doesn’t own a television.

“I don’t own a TV. I have a projector and I can watch movies or documentaries. I listen to music or read books or see friends,” she admitted.

“I’m in a hotel right now and the first thing I did was turn the television on because it’s such an extraordinary thing to have a TV in the room.”
