Blumm / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## K.C. Blumm / People Jun 11, 2015 4:48 PM UTC What a good baby! It seems 5-week-old [Charlotte](http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20928826,00.html) is being the perfect little princess and letting her parents, [Prince William](http://www.people.com/people/prince%5Fwilliam) and [Princess Kate](http://www.people.com/people/kate%5Fmiddleton), get a little shut-eye at night. Doting grandfather [Prince Charles](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:PrinceCharles,00.html) talked about the newest addition to the royal family on Wednesday at a tea party with World War II veterans at Clarence House in London. Geoff Bradley, one of the guests at the afternoon tea, told [the Press Association](http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsroyalbaby/charlotte-sleeps-through-night/ar-BBkVual) that when he chatted with Charles about grandchildren, “He was saying Princess Charlotte does sleep through the night and it was much easier on mum than [Prince George](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:PrinceGeorge,00.html).” This is probably a relief for Kate and her husband – less than a month ago, a slightly bleary-eyed William [admitted](http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20924576,00.html) that they were enduring sleepless nights with their then-two-week-old baby and an energetic 22-month-old. “He was saying he’s obviously really enjoying being a father and Princess Charlotte is actually keeping him up – and probably why his eyes are looking a little bit tired,” said Steph Houghton, captain of the England women’s soccer team. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222%5F20929833,00.html) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3917962/royal-family-princess-charlotte-sleep/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3917962/royal-family-princess-charlotte-sleep/"},"headline":"Princess Charlotte 'Does Sleep Through the Night,' Says Prince Charles","datePublished":"2015-06-11T16:48:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:21:01.324Z","description":"Giving her busy parents extra sleep to catch up on","url":"https://time.com/3917962/royal-family-princess-charlotte-sleep/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Prince George","kate middleton","U.K.","Prince William","royals","Princess Charlotte"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea9c27c270995aa1/6988541fa988caca1c6b2fa8/476127696-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"K.C.
