LONDON, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Britain's Prince William and his bride-to-be Kate Middleton have no plans to hire servants to staff their home in North Wales, a palace source told People.com.

The couple is to marry April 29 after more than eight years of dating.

After the wedding, they plan to continue residing in their four-bedroom farmhouse close to William's base at Royal Air Force Valley. They have no intentions, however, of hiring a personal chef, butler, valet or any other help other than their security detail, People.com said Friday.

"(They have) no domestic staff and there are no plans for that to change," an unnamed insider told the Web site.

"(Kate) was spotted shopping in (the grocery store) Waitrose the other day. That would tell you all you need to know about how they lead their life," said a second palace source.
