It's disappointing not to see the princes early on, i remember when princess diana was watching they always show her on camera. This is a great time for sports in spain with Nadal and the victory of the soccer team, i wonder who's going to win the prince of asturias' award for sport.

Link to NBC coverage of Nadal climbing to meet Felipe and Letizia and the "insightful" McEnroe comment, "I believe that is royalty from Spain that was invited here to be in the royal box today." The video comes after the commercial and the Crown couple appear towards the end.

Most of the world - including the European - don't give a hoot about royalties. Not surprising at all that they didn't mention them or if they did - had no idea of who they were. It does point out the importance of royalties to be visible and involved in very meaningful endeavors if they want to have any clout other than being born royal. An exampel, everyone knows who Nelson Mandela is.

One question though - this obviously isn't Rafa's first Wimbledon final, what made them decide to come? Do you think they just had a break in their schedule? What would have happened if the match had gone another day do you think they would have returned to watch the end?

Yes, it was Rafa's 3rd straight Wimbledon final against Federer. I'm so happy that he finally got a win. Last year I heard from the news that Infanta Cristina was there, but didn't get any press coverage in London. In 2006, the final was at the same weekend of Pope Benedict visiting Valencia with the whole SRF in Valencia receiving the Pope.

Prince Felipe shakes hands with former IOC President, Juan Antonio Samaranch (R) and ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti (C) before the third match of the Davis cup final between Spain and Czech Republic at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona.
