They will stay at Clarence House, which is just across the road from Buckingham Palace.
It's where they have both lived for more than 20 years.
It's much smaller.
It's much homelier.
It's
a cosier building.
And I think two people in their late 70s just did not want, personally, the upheaval of moving themselves and their staff to a whole new building.
But Buckingham Palace will remain very much monarchy HQ and the business of royalty will still be focused in the building.
So there'll be grand events, state dinners, banquets at Buckingham Palace.
It's just the king and the queen will not permanently live there.
I think he definitely wants to be more transparent about his finances.
You can always wonder quite what is the thinking and the timing of royal announcements.
But this has come because basically there has been such scrutiny over royal finances in the past few months, particularly after the situation with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor moving and losing his titles.
It's kind of opened up a closer look at the way royalty works.
And I think both Buckingham Palace for the King and Kensington Palace for Prince William were very understanding of that and knew that they need to perhaps give more to show transparency and openness and accountability.
So that is behind us getting those figures for the amount of tax that both the King and Prince William are paying for the first time.
It is part of a strategy from Buckingham Palace to be more open.
The slight problem with that is that although we now have the figures, which is new information, we don't have any detailed understanding of how they reached those figures and the breakdown of how they got to those tax bills.
I don't think so necessarily, but I think there is a definite shift in mood around what the public want to know about the royal family.
The sense of the royal family being a little bit at arm's length, in the distance, something that just sits there, that's always been there.
