Beaming as she basks in the spring sunshine, Amanda Knox is pictured in Britain for the first time as she crudely promotes her film revisiting Meredith Kercher's murder.

Posting cheerfully captioned photos within hours of arriving, the American declared ‘Hello London!’ as she smiled near Tower Bridge just miles from the tragic British student's family home.

Her visit is said to have left the Kercher family 'speechless', with their lawyer accusing Ms Knox of ‘cashing in for the umpteenth time on Meredith’s memory’.

The 38-year-old is in the capital to host two sold‑out screenings of Mouth of the Wolf at Greenwich Picturehouse next week.

Directed by her husband, Christopher Robinson, the film follows her return to the scene in Perugia, the Italian city where Kercher was brutally murdered in 2007.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the Kercher family's lawyer Francesco Maresca said Ms Knox was turning her wrongful conviction into an ever‑expanding lucrative venture.

He said her actions had repeatedly reopened old wounds by dragging the case back into the spotlight almost 20 years on, this time just a stone’s throw from where Meredith grew up in Coulsdon, south London.

The lawyer added that the Kercher family felt 'enough is enough' and urged Ms Knox to 'draw a line' under the case so they can preserve Meredith's memory.

‘It seems to me and the family that every six months or so Knox makes another media initiative be it a podcast, interview, documentary or film,’ Mr Maresca told the Mail.

‘To be frank, enough is enough, they have really had more than is reasonable of it now, they and myself just don’t comprehend why she keeps on doing things like this and just can’t leave this alone.'

The lawyer said the family understood that Ms Knox wanted to visit the family and Meredith's childhood home while in the UK, a request which he said, was 'unwanted'. 

He continued: ‘Every time she speaks, she reopens the tragedy of what happened to Meredith nearly 20 years ago and it really hurts the family – if Knox keeps insisting so much she and Meredith were friends why doesn’t she respect her memory and keep quiet?’ 

Meredith, 21, was living with Ms Knox while studying abroad in Perugia when she was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in her bedroom in November 2007.

Ms Knox and her then boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were both convicted of the murder.

They spent nearly four years in jail before their release on appeal in 2011, allowing Ms Knox to return to her home in Seattle.

A further reconviction followed in her absence in 2014, before Italy’s Supreme Court definitively acquitted her in March 2015, citing investigative failures.

Since her final acquittal, Ms Knox has rarely stepped out of the spotlight.

She has produced a bestselling memoir, launched a true crime podcast called Hard Knox and even tours as a stand-up comedian joking about her conviction.

Last year, she executive-produced a Hulu drama series called Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox and is now launching another documentary rooted in the same tragedy.

Her supporters insist Ms Knox, now a mother of two, is herself a victim - a woman wrongfully imprisoned who now campaigns for justice reform.

Yet to critics, the optics of red-carpet launches, sun‑soaked snaps and cheerful invitations to ‘say hello’ sit uneasily alongside the grief of a murdered young student’s family.

The Kercher family have long voiced their discomfort at the way Meredith’s name continues to orbit Ms Knox’s career.

'I think we know what is behind this though, it’s just another chance to make money,' Mr Maresca said.

‘You do have to ask yourself why? Her co-accused in all this, Raffaele Sollecito has quietly faded away, and you don’t hear anything at all from him. He doesn’t make books, films or podcasts – maybe she should do the same.

‘We just don’t understand why she just can’t close this chapter. To us it appears she is just fame hungry and chasing notoriety – it really is importune.'

The lawyer said Kercher's family have no intention of seeing Ms Knox while she is in the capital and said they would not accommodate her apparent wishes to see where Meredith lived.

‘Of course, Knox can go wherever she likes in London, visit the attractions but to say, as I understand it that she wants to see where Meredith grew up and lived and to speak to the family is unnecessary,' he said.

‘The family have no intention of meeting her and they would just like her to keep quiet, this is a very sad chapter of their lives, Meredith’s parents are dead and there is just her brother and sisters left.

‘They just want to keep Meredith’s memory to themselves and just want Knox to draw a line to all this and they have made that clear several times but Knox just doesn't seem to accept it.'

He said that Ms Knox's latest venture showed a desire to continue 'making money from Meredith’s memory'.

‘As I said earlier, she is more than welcome to travel the world, visit London, Perugia wherever but to say she wants to say where Meredith grew up and to visit the family is unwanted,' he said.

He said that Ms Knox had failed to make any 'respectful or sweet comment' to the Kercher family in any of her ventures. 

'It really is unnecessary and inopportune, it’s not normal to keep dragging this up to make money.

‘Enough is enough now, that is what the Kercher family feel. They are just speechless at the endlessness of it all and I can guarantee that in six months time I will be having to make the same comments again.

‘She keeps saying she wants to meet the family, but they have said no countless times and the answer will always be no, so it is pointless to insist and to use the family for publicity.’

Ms Knox and her husband will showcase their new documentary on Tuesday and Wednesday, taking questions from the audience after screening.

Having arrived in London on Friday, her Instagram shows the couple taking in the sights of the capital and posing for selfies. 

One shows Ms Knox sticking out her tongue as she enjoyed the musical comedy Dead Inside at Soho Theatre on Saturday with the caption ‘’I laughed! I cried!’ 

A promotional post of her event next week said: ‘These intimate screenings are a chance to experience the film in a city that has long embraced bold, thought-provoking storytelling.

‘If you're in London, or know someone who is, we'd love to see you there. Amanda and Chris will be taking questions after the film."

Rudy Guede, whose DNA was found at the crime scene, was convicted of sexual assault and murder in the case.

His sentence was eventually reduced to 16 years, and he was released on early release in December 2020.
