A beautifully written post, iowabelle, and one in which I totally agree with. You brought up the qualities of Grace and what made her such a great beauty..both inside and out.
I really don't think that anyone can compare Grace's beauty to Diana's as they are so different. Diana was young, fresh, and innocent and just cried out for a make-over. She rose to the 'challenge' and then some! She was not a classic beauty but was tall, long legs to die for, and just wore clothes like no-one else could, and managed to look like everyone would have Wished to look. She was modern, whereas Grace was Hollywood. One could relate to Diana in more ways, perhaps.
I for one, would give anything to have seen both as they aged...We were able to see more of Grace and she remained regal and beautiful to the end. Diana, if only.....
