Prince William, being a prince, enjoyed a rather lavish lifestyle as a kid. However, now that he's an adult about to be married, some may wonder how that will change.

How does he earn money, what does he pay in rent, what sort of cars do he and Kate Middleton drive? You know, all those tacky questions you wouldn't ask people you know, but figure it's OK to wonder about a royal. Well, wonder no more.

Where will they live?

It has been widely reported that William lives in a private cottage near a Royal Air Force Base in North Wales. The U.K.'s Telegraph reports that William and Kate will probably live there for at least a few more years. Last April, William signed a three-year commitment as a search and rescue helicopter pilot. William rents the cottage for a relatively modest £750 per month, or about $1,217. And, for the record, William reports that he and Kate plan to live in the cottage without the services of a butler.
