It must be so hard for Letizia to stand behind Felipe and say nothing.

Using the photo of the two infantitas with the Spanish soccer NT in the presentation was a nice touch, too. Cuteness overload

Madrid's loss is not surprising. BBC has stated that the bookies favour Tokyo because of its ability to impeccably organise such sporting event.

"Madrid loses, the Prince wins", from the blog of Antoni Gutiérrez-Rubí, PR and political consultant:
Madrid lost, but the Prince has taken a solid step forward. By attitude, availability and creditworthiness. Madrid does not know if it will have another chance ... but Prince claims his. Today has shown it.

Heard Felipe on the BBC news and he sounds nothing like I imagine!
Tokyo will host 2020.

Felipe and Letizia looked so much in love and so happy, I love watching them like that, it makes my heart melt.
Though Madrid didn't win, I'm proud of Felipe.

What a beautiful speech given by Prince Felipe! so articulate, and filled with
genuine emotion, and encouragement! too bad they did not get the votes in Argentina, great things will come their way . . .

I read many reports online how good his speech is but I guess it wasn't only on speech that they were counting on. I guess the economical crisis in Spain also plays a role in how the will be able to finance such a huge event, but thats my opinion.

Of course it is clear that the decision isn't based on one speech. But Felipe got a lot of appreciation and good press of his speech. There was also a question after Spain's presentation about doping, Spain hasn't always done a good job about handling the doping cases.
