    I want to thank you for posting such wondrous photos. I have never seen most of these photos before. She was truly a "princess" in spirit and deed if not by birth. I would not presume to say she was the most beautiful. I judge by spirit and soul along with physical beauty. I have not yet decided who deserves that distinction but HSH Princess Grace of Monaco is a frontrunner.

    Again, many thanks.
