New York City is freaking out over the imminent touchdown of the royal couple on US soil. If you thought for just a moment that people were ready to handle Will and Kate's arrival, just look at trending hashtag #RoyalVisitUSA.

Here's a couple of Americans who literally can't even. #remaincalm

The crowds waiting at The Carlyle, where the royals will be staying during their trip. Hats are practically required.

Prince George's absence hasn't gone unnoticed.

Her schedule can't be that busy, right?

I love the #RoyalFamily I hope #KateMiddleton is a #Jerseylicious fan and plans a trip to #AnthonyRobertSalon for a blowout. #RoyalVisitUSA

The common folk aren't the only ones excited about the royal family's arrival, however. LeBron James reportedly said it would be a "huge honor" to play basketball in front of Will and Kate, and the duo is rumored to meet with America's unofficial royal couple, Beyoncé and Jay Z, at Monday's Brooklyn Nets game. If we could be a fly on the wall of that stadium, well...we literally couldn't even.
