CNC News - Kisses flusters Princess

MONTREAL - Montreal's mayor drew gasps from a crowd of royal watchers on Tuesday when he gave Princess Margriet of the Netherlands a two-cheek kiss during a welcome at City Hall. The princess appeared flustered after the kisses, leaving the reception room after signing the register without delivering her prepared speech.

She returned seconds later to deliver the speech, then returned Mayor Gerald Tremblay's kiss.

Her husband, Pieter van Vollenhoven, joked the kisses interrupted his wife's train of thought.

"You start all this kissing, it's easy for her to forget what she has to do," he said.

Royal spokesperson Hans Kemp said the princess wasn't upset by the kisses.

Tremblay denied he committed a royal faux pas.

The princess, who was born in an Ottawa hospital while her family was exiled from the Netherlands during the Second World War, is on a two-day visit to Montreal.

She's in the city to thank veterans for liberating Holland 60 years ago.
