The King and Queen have decided not to move into Buckingham Palace after a £370m refurbishment is completed.
Instead they're going to stay at Clarence House, where they've lived since 2003.

The decision was made in part to allow greater public access to Buckingham Palace, as security measures required while the King is in residence would restrict both visitor numbers and the areas open to the public.
It also comes as the King becomes the first monarch to publish their tax bill, paying more than £30m total in tax since becoming King in 2022.
A spokesperson says Buckingham Palace will be a buzzing hive of royal activity in every other way, despite the King not living there, but what do the people travelling to visit the historic landmark think?
