It was a stark juxtaposition — the fans of Prince William and Kate gathered with the more usual denizens of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to await the royal couple. Sheway manager Patti Zettel and the mothers shared bannock, cookies, and tea with the royals. Many saw today's visit as particularly poignant because it showed that Will and Kate are striving to carry on Diana's legacy. Before Sheway opened in 1993, officials say babies born on the Downtown Eastside were frequently taken into government care at birth. Rod Chute, who lives in the area, said it's great that the royals are acknowledging the people who live in the Downtown Eastside.
