Keira Accepts Libel Damages

Keira Knightley has accepted High Court libel damages over a Daily Mail article suggesting that she had an eating disorder.

The actress was also upset with the suggestion that she was responsible for the death of a teenage girl who had been suffering from anorexia.

The article was headed: "If pictures like this one of Keira carried a health warning, my darling daughter might have lived". It was published on January 11, accompanied by a photograph of the 22-year-old actress wearing a bikini on holiday.

Knightley pledged to donate her £3,000 damages to Beat, an eating disorder charity.
