IT'S been billed as their glitzy Hollywood getaway - newlyweds Wills and Kate will cuddle up in a $12,000 suite in Beverly Hills' "Pink Palace" and dine with Oprah Winfrey and Sylvester Stallone.
No mixing or matching clothes for Kate this time. She chose 40 outfits to make the trip to California, while Wills, the future British monarch, will have a butler and a private chef at his disposal.
Royal expert Richard Mineards said the movers and shakers in Hollywood were abuzz with excitement over the visit.
He said Prince William, who will play in a charity polo match in Santa Barbara as part of the visit, would meet TV queen Oprah after the game.
Mineards revealed: "I do know David Beckham is expected, as well as Sylvester Stallone, a long-time member of the polo club, and Oprah Winfrey, who lives 10 minutes' drive away from the club at her 42-acre Montecito estate."
"I gather they have been deluged with letters and emails from Hollywood - agents and PR reps of endless B- and C-list celebrities - wanting to get involved in the festivities. All have been told an emphatic 'No', " he said.
The couple's visit has Tinseltown's talent falling over themselves for an audience. But according to Mineards, Buckingham Palace has been strict on the pair's itinerary.
David and Victoria Beckham are also planning a private soiree, according to stylist Phil Bloch. "They're doing something with the Beckhams, maybe they'll throw something at the house for them," he said.
"I've heard all Kate's outfits are already picked out - around 40 or 50. But she is doing her hair and make-up herself."
During their LA stint, William, 28, and Kate, 29, will attend a glitzy dinner for BAFTA in Los Angeles to connect British talent with Hollywood executives.
They will also visit Inner City Arts, which helps children from deprived LA neighbourhoods. They will also meet with US military veterans and their families.
During their three days in California, the couple are expected to stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel's new presidential suite, which costs $11,439 ($US12,000) a night. The couple will have access to privately cooked meals and their own fully stocked wine cellar.
North American leg of the couples tour begins in Ottawa, where they will celebrate Canada Day on July 1. After that they go to Montreal, Quebec, Prince Edward Island and Calgary where they will take part in the Calgary stampede, the legendary rodeo event.
