Vanity Fair spoke with several people who waited outside in the cold for a glimpse of the royal couple, holding bouquets that they hoped to get to Kate. Carol Polock said she showed up at the Carlyle at 9:30 a.m., and would also try to see William and Kate at a Brooklyn Nets game Monday night and the Met on Tuesday. When asked why she braved the crowds and low temperatures, Polock responded: "I think it's just the whole fairy-tale thing. It's just exciting."
