These don't really do her justice. She was a very beautiful woman, physically and spiritually. One such portrait can be found in the work: Francisco Franco: Un Siglo de Espana, by Profesor Ricardo de la Cierva, PhD, Editora Nacional, San Agustin No. 5, Madrid, Kingdom of Spain, 1972-1973, Volume I, Page 55.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159967173198170183.post-70119545721272965422010-11-09T18:57:32.083-08:002010-11-09T18:57:32.083-08:00I've read that when Grace married Rainier, mos...I've read that when Grace married Rainier, most royal families saw the match with disdain.
