Keira Knightley Receives 100-Year-Old Tree as Wedding Gift


Love is truly in the air for actress Keira Knightley, as she recently received an 100-year-old olive tree from her new hubby, James Righton, as a wedding gift.
A source told The Sun, the tree cost Righton over $4,000 and he even had their initials carved into it, “James had it planted in the back garden of her home in France on the day of the wedding. He had carved their initials in a heart and showed her in front of everyone. She collapsed into fits of giggles, it was very sweet.”
Last Saturday, the couple tied the knot at the town hall in Mazan, a city in France. It was a small ceremony with Knightley’s parents as witnesses. Siblings and other family members were also in attendance.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds, along with family and friends, celebrated at Knightley’s family-owned $5 million vineyard.

British actress Keira Knightley is preparing to marry her fiance James Righton in the South of France this weekend, according to U.K. reports.

The Klaxons rocker proposed to Knightley last year after 15 months together, and now they are reportedly set to become husband and wife during a ceremony near Nice.

A source tells Britain's The Sun, "Most of their friends will fly out for the wedding on Friday. They've been planning it for a while but wanted something small and private. They could get married in total private in stunning surroundings."

The stars, who moved in together in early 2012, were introduced by mutual friend Alexa Chung in early 2011.

COLIN FIRTH: Pride and Prejudice: Walk in the footsteps of Miss Bennet and Mr Darcy (RADIO TIMES)

This year marks the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen's novel. Tantalise your televisual memory this summer with a walk through Lyme Park, where Miss Bennet was startled by a wet-look Mr Darcy during the BBC adaptation

When a wet-shirted Colin Firth strode into Jennifer Ehle’s life, an iconic TV moment was born. Lyme Hall played the part of Pemberley in the BBC’s 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and the lake into which Darcy dived (or a stuntman, in fact, due to the risk of Weil’s disease!) is much the same today. The park nestles in the foothills of the Peak District and this ramble takes in spectacular viewpoints, canalside heritage and, of course, that unforgettable pond.


START

Join the towpath at Higher Poynton, with the canal on your right. Just past the end of the moorings, the woods on your left hide the remains of the little-known East Cheshire Coalfield.

Pass under Bridge 13, then leave the towpath and circle back over the bridge, joining the rough lane skirting Middlecale Farm to reach, in 700m, a cross-path waymarked by the Peak and Northern Footpaths Society.

Turn left on the path through Ryles Wood to reach, beyond fields, the lodge house at the edge of Lyme’s Estate. Keep ahead along the rough track through a high gate to the main driveway.

Turn right, and in 220m drift left on to a stony track that eases up the hillside towards the ridge-top and The Cage, an elegant hunting lodge. Clear days offer extensive views across this corner of Cheshire and the nearer moors of the Peak District National Park.

Jennifer Ehle: 'Millions would see me naked on telly' Actress Jennifer Ehle shares what she wishes she'd known at 18... (THE SUN)

By GARTH PEARCE

JENNIFER EHLE played Elizabeth Bennet in the 1995 award-winning BBC TV adaption of Jane Austen’s Pride And Prejudice and launched a film career.

The American-born star, 43, has a major role as a CIA officer in the thrilling action movie Zero Dark Thirty, which is the hottest tip for a Best Picture Oscar.

She lives in America with writer husband Michael Ryan and children George, nine, and Talulah, three.

She tells GARTH PEARCE what she wishes she’d known at 18.

“I WISH I’d not taken off all my clothes in my first television series, The Camomile Lawn.When I took the job, I did not realise there would be so much nudity. But no one forced me to do it.


Jennifer Ehle with her mother, British actress Rosemary Harris

I played the young Calypso (her English actress mother, Rosemary Harris, played the character as an older woman) and had some very full-on scenes.

I only got British citizenship the year we did Pride And Prejudice. I thought London would be a nicer city to be unemployed in than New York or Los Angeles.



Colin Firth? He is a very nice guy and a very good actor. We did have a relationship for about a year. But by the time Pride And Prejudice came out, we were not a couple any more.
