Because in a normal family, its the new parents who are there (obviously in the mother's case...), and who decide who to start calling. The queen was already a great grandmother - Peter Phillips (son of Princess Anne) has 2 children, Savannah (born 2010), and Isla (born 2012).
I'm sure they didn't wake Charles up, because it's the middle of the day. He might had said "do wake me whatever time it is" - who knows. He is a grandfather for the first time. And there's Kate's parents too - their first, as far as I can tell.

(102,331 posts)That's the situation the queen's in - for the 3rd time. The relationship between 38 year old mother and son/DIL will be also different from 87 year old grandmother and grandson/GDIL.
