Perhaps they'll invite Prince William and Kate Middleton over for tea?
Recently engaged Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are shelling out $24,000 a month to rent a mansion on the posh Wentworth Estate in Surrey, England, sources confirm to Us Weekly.
Along with their six kids, Jolie, 36, and Pitt, 48, will call the spread home "for the next 15 months" as they make movies in the UK, the source explains. (Jolie is currently filming the Sleeping Beauty-inspired flick Maleficent at nearby Pinewood Studios; Pitt shoots Ridley Scott's The Counselor with Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem later this year, and Jolie has reportedly signed on for another British film after that.)

And Maddox, 11, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5 and twins Vivenne and Knox, 3, will have a ball at the new place, the source says.
"The house is amazing!" the source says. "It's like a miniature version of the White House, although there is nothing mini about it."
Another plus? "It's perfect because they're still close to Miraval," the source says of the even grander home they own in the south of France, where some speculate that Jolie and Pitt could hold their top-secret wedding. "They love the house!"
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Rent "Palatial" Home in England
While the betrothed actors didn't buy the Whornes Place estate in London, it turns out the über-famous couple is temporarily residing in another "palatial" home in the area.
And it looks like they're settling in.
Despite reports Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie forked over $16 million to reside in the Whornes Palace in the West London town of Richmond, E! News has learned exclusively the charitable pair is renting a huge mansion in one of the most "exclusive areas" in the United Kingdom.
"[Brad and Angelina] have decided to settle into one property rather than move around because they are going to be in London for 15 months," a source told E! News. "It seems better for the whole family if they have a proper base. They have been moved into a palatial mansion that resembles the White House on the exclusive Wentworth golf course in Surrey. It is in a beautiful, gated community, one of the most exclusive areas in the U.K."
But, Jolie and Pitt aren't the first celebrities to reside in the stunning home, which sits 21 miles outside of London.
The estate has had its share of star-studded residents, including Elton John and Fergie, the Duchess of York.
And there's plenty of room for Jolie to stretch her legs.
"The house has eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, staff quarters, a gazebo in the garden, an indoor swimming pool and a playground for the children," the source said. "They have also hired a full time chef."
Meanwhile, there's still no word yet on when the newly engaged pair, who moved into the home a week ago, will tie the knot.
But, their new digs certainly would make for one fine place for a wedding.
We're just sayin'.
