Buckingham Palace has 830,000 square feet of floor space, and that's just one of the royal family's many homes. I remember when Prince Charles first saw it, he said something like, "It's really just a very little house." I'm glad we don't have a royal family! Although it still makes me almost ill to think of any of the Bush family living there. Yuk!
