Prince Felipe expressed disappointment this weekend over Madrid’s loss to Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics.
Don Felipe, and his wife, Princess Letizia, were in Buenos Aires lobbying for the city’s bid, along with other officials, including Government President Mariano Rajoy.
The Prince is said to have impressed delegates with his use of French, English and Spanish to answer questions about Madrid’s preparedness.
In the end, the Prince of Asturias said he understood the “sadness from the people of Madrid and all of Spain.” He said, “This is a competition that we were not able to win.”
