The man who kissed Maxima: 'It seemed like a joke' |  royal day

In the afterthought for NOS on King’s Day in Maastricht, tell how it worked. He admitted that his work was not planned in this way. “Last week at a birthday party, my friends asked me to come in to watch. I said, ‘I’d like to have a kiss from Maxima.’ As a joke,” the man says.

Wasbauer continues: We’ve been standing there for an hour and a half and then we hear jokes. Like: “Yes, when Maxima comes, I’ll ask for a kiss.” This is what happened. “The three kisses did not follow each other fluently, as can be seen in the television images, but they were already there, as the ANP photographer recorded. In all likelihood, Mr. Wasbauer is the only one in the audience in the provincial capital of Limburg who was able to kiss the Queen.
