Keira Knightley Sabé / Queen's Double

Robin Gurland, casting director, on choosing Ms. Knightley for the role: "One of the hardest roles to cast was that of Sab�, the handmaiden that fills in for the Queen when she is in hiding. Orignially we were going to use a stand-in, but that was before we found a girl by the name of Keira Knightley. She was only fourteen at the time of principle photography, two years younger than Natalie Portman but nevertheless the resemblance is striking. I wouldn't be surprised if she fools quite a few of the fans."
