You do not give the measurements for your doll but she looks like more than 20 inches - and - occasionally - a taller size doll will sell for a little more than the regular size dolls. The taller dolls are produced in smaller numbers - 1,000 as opposed to the normal 5,000 dolls. But, of course, the reason they are produced in smaller numbers is because they sell a less amount of the taller dolls.
The problem with this is they are very difficult and very expensive to ship. All of these dolls break very easily and insurance is a real hassle to collect.
It is a good idea to check eBay listings because it gives you a general idea as to how many dolls are listed at any given time. The asking price has very little to do with true value but you can always place a watch on a doll to see if it sells.

It is almost impossible to find a doll where a name is unknown because otherwise she is just a "Knighsbridge" doll.
You can check "images" on Google to see what you are up against when trying to locate a doll where a name is unknown.

I would suggest you try selling your doll on a local site such as Craigslist or any of the other sale sites that are avilable in your area.
You can always ask more for your doll and lower the price if no one shows an interest.
You may not sell your doll for a big price but you will not have to ship and that is a very big thing.
This is a mass-produced doll. It is the 660th of a lot of 1000. It has a value of $25 or less, even if you paid considerably more for it.
I am not seeing any matching her exactly on eBay or online, but that doesn't mean she is rare, just that she has not come up today for sale. The market changes daily, so tomorrow there could be bunches of them!
The best way to find her exact value is to check back to eBay or Google weekly and find the identical lovely that has SOLD, DO NOT USE asking prices to value your dolls. Sold tells you exactly what someone will pay for your doll.
The reason it is so important to find an exact match is most dolls have not held their value, but there are a few ringers out there that have and you want to know exactly how much your doll is worth in today's market. Finding a sold example is the only way to know this.

Let me know when you find a match to her on eBay and what it sold for!
If you enter all your information that you have in to "Google" you will probable get some answers. Also check with eBay to see if there is a like doll offer for sale , put in "search" especially Knightsbridge as that is a key word. Also check in with Craigslist you also might find you doll listed.
