Prince Charles and his wife Camilla currently live in Clarence House, not far from Buckingham Palace. But it turned out that the future King and Queen consort will have to make the big move at some point. And some suspect that they may be less than happy.
The Duke of Wales, who has just turned 70, will take over as monarch when the 92-year-old Queen leaves.
And that day, we expect him and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to pack their bags and head for Buckingham Palace.
A spokesman for Clarence House told Daily Star Online, "Buckingham Palace will be his residence, as he is now for the Queen."

Charles and Camilla have lived in Clarence House for 15 years.
His sons, William and Harry, have lived with him for a while, but have now moved to Kensington Palace with their families.
The Royal Residence underwent major renovations before the arrival of Charles and Camilla. The couple would be "very comfortable" in his current home.
A source has already told the Sunday Times: "He does not see it as a viable future home or a home fit for the modern world.
"He feels that his maintenance, both in terms of costs as well as the environment, is not sustainable."
Charles is not the only royal to feel less fond of the "big house".
When the Queen and Prince Philip married in 1947, they also lived in Clarence House.
According to the royal historians, the Duke of Edinburgh did his best to insist that the family stay at home instead of settling in Buckingham Palace.
However, the king husband was overthrown.

Buckingham Palace, on the website of the Royal Family, is described as "a functioning building and the centerpiece of the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom".
In the heart of London, the palace serves as "a venue for many royal events and ceremonies organized by foreign heads of state to celebrate the achievements of Investitures and receptions".
Separating the monarchy from Buckingham Palace would probably not be too much, given the history.
But a royal expert thinks we could see Charles break the tradition.

Royal Central editor Charlie Proctor told Daily Star Online that he "would not bet against his stay in his current home."
He said, "It is widely believed that when he ascends to the throne, Prince Charles will settle in Buckingham Palace, a building associated with the monarch's dwelling for many centuries.
"However, I think it's perfectly possible that Charles & Camilla decide to live in Clarence House, their current home, at the death of The Queen.
"Clarence House has been home to Charles and Camilla for 15 years now. They have made it simple and are comfortable. Who wants to leave their ideal home, especially in their day?
"I would not bet against the fact that he stays at home."
