Los Angeles, April 16 (IANS): Socialite Kim Kardashian and her finace Kanye West have hired a royal wedding coach to learn "contemporary etiquette and manners".

The duo was engaged in October 2013 and they are planning to get married in France next month.

Reality TV star Kim, who was quite fascinated by Prince William and Duchess Catherine's 2010 wedding, wants her big day to be as regal as possible, reports contactmusic.com.

"Kim and Kanye want their day to be as regal as possible and are studying Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding for inspiration," a source told Grazia magazine.

"The coach will apparently spend a week with Kim-Kanye, and the rest of the Kardashian clan in Los Angeles, giving them lessons tailored to their royal day," the source said.

"They will also be taught about contemporary etiquette and manners carried out by the modern royal family, as well as putting a British touch to their day with all the formal protocol," the source added.

The couple, who has a 10-month-old daughter North, will issue guidelines to their guests on appropriate behaviour at the wedding.

The source said: "Their coach has come up with a strict guide for guests, including how to hold a champagne glass. They will also be told not to address service staff. Kim and Kanye want this to be as formal as possible."
