Kanye wants castle for his queen

Kanye West is planning to buy Kim Kardashian a castle.

The 'Bound 2' rapper believes he has come up with the perfect wedding gift for his fiancee - with who he has seven-month-old daughter North - and has asked his staff to scour Europe for the perfect property.

A source told National Enquirer magazine: "Kanye's insisting he wants to give Kim and actual castle as a wedding present. He's already got his people searching all over Europe for the perfect storybook property.

"Kanye keeps telling friends: 'Nothing is too good for Kim! My wife deserves to be treated like royalty, and that's just what I'm going to do."

Before the castle, Kanye may please his wife-to-be a little more if he employed a few extra workers to complete work on their $11m Mediterranean-style five-bedroom mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles.

The property is not set to be ready for them to move into until summer, over a year after renovation work was started.

The mansion has reportedly been furnished with six special-edition beds costing $185,000 in addition to $800,000 worth of gold-plated toilets.

A source said recently: "They expect the interior to cost twice as much as the property. They're spending more than a million [dollars] on a security system alone."
