Keira Knightley features in Waitrose's 2026 Christmas advert with comedian Joe Wilkinson. Their characters fall into a situation in a love triangle while festive shoppers watch.
In the same campaign actor Alex Hassell takes on James Norton's portrayal of a appealing Santa sparking playful competition. Separately Knightley's iconic green dress from the film Atonement is listed for sale attracting collector interest. Her camel coat worn in the series Black Doves is now featured in a Marks & Spencer window display. Knightley also remarks that Love Actually isn't significant to her because she has not seen it since its premiere and doesn't remember the film.
