What are you to do? You have just presented several thousand tulip bulbs, named after Henry Hudson, to the City of New York. Your hands are full of dirt from symbolically planting some of these bulbs. There is no water on hand.
Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, one time citizen of the Big Apple, had the appropiate solution. Since the Henry Hudson bulbs were christened as well, there was champagne. Nothing like rinsing your hands with the liquid. Right for a princess.
