When all was said and done, I think we can all agree that Prince George has more personality in his little finger than both of his parents combined. Even when he was a newborn, his parents seemed overwhelmed by him – he was apparently really fussy, he cried all the time and whenever he was photographed, he just seemed pretty grumpy. So how does his sister Charlotte measure up? According to grandpa Charles, Charlotte is nothing short of a dream baby, especially compared to her brother.

Our yen for royal baby news is bottomless — luckily Prince Charles is here to help. The Prince of Wales, proud grandfather to 6-week-old Princess Charlotte, tends to get gooey about her. So no surprise he was spilling a tidbit to a group WWII vets Wednesday about her sleeping habits.

“We were talking about grandchildren, he was saying Princess Charlotte does sleep through the night and it was much easier on mum than Prince George.”

That “Mum” would be Duchess Kate of Cambridge, and the person Charles said this to was identified by the official Press Association as Geoff Bradley, who was at a tea party for Battle of Britain pilots and aircrews hosted by the prince at his London residence, Clarence House.

Charles, who publicly said he longed for a granddaughter shortly before Charlotte was born on May 2, may not be entirely in the know about Charlotte’s nightly sleep patterns since he’s not living with her. The Cambridges — son Prince William, Kate and their two babies — are living full-time at their country retreat, Anmer Hall, on the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

Still, if Charlotte has started sleeping through the night, it marks a change from just a few weeks ago. About two weeks after Charlotte was born, Will met with the British women’s soccer team and told them his eyes looked tired because the baby had been keeping him up.

And George? He was a midnight wailer for quite a while. When the Cambridges stayed at Government House in Wellington, N.Z., during their April 2014 Down Under tour, Will jokingly apologized for George’s tendency to wake up and holler at 3 a.m. He was nine months old at the time.

That trip that they took with George was when he was just nine or ten months old, and yes, he was still a “wailer.” That was the same trip where George punched a baby, threw a stuffed animal gift on the ground just as soon as he received it and cried when the Aussie prime minister tried to talk to him. It was glorious. I had hoped that Charlotte would be full of piss and vinegar just like her bro, but she sounds pretty docile and easy-going. Kate must be thrilled that she got an “easy” baby this time around.
