Let me tell you a heartwarming story. Imagine this: Queen Elizabeth II, the woman who has seen more than a century of history, bumping into someone she hasn’t seen in decades. That’s exactly what happened when she met Margaret Baxter, a woman whose path first crossed with the Queen’s way back in the 1940s. It’s like life is giving us a little reminder of how small and yet how magical the world can be.
Now, picture this: it’s Wednesday, May 30, and the Queen, now 93, is at a royal garden party at Buckingham Palace. She’s mingling, chatting, and then suddenly—there’s Margaret. This wasn’t just any random encounter. No, no, no. The Queen and Margaret first met about 70 years ago when Elizabeth was still a princess and the world was a very different place. The royal family, not wanting to keep this gem of a moment to themselves, took to Twitter to share photos of the original meeting between the Queen and Margaret. It’s like flipping through an old photo album and realizing just how much time has passed.
Here’s how the royal family put it in their tweet: “Today Mrs Margaret Baxter was presented to Her Majesty, during which they reminisced about their first meeting, when the then Princess Elizabeth visited Portsmouth in the 1940s. #GardenParty.” In the old photo, you can see the young Princess Elizabeth walking alongside Margaret, both of them smiling, probably chatting about the world as they knew it back then. It’s a beautiful snapshot of history.

Of course, the internet couldn’t help but fall in love with this story. Fans were quick to react, showering the Queen with compliments. One person said, “What a beauty, then and now. The Queen’s smile is truly ageless; always with such a sparkle in her eyes.” Another chimed in with, “How lovely. Two gracious ladies!” It’s moments like these that remind us why we adore the monarchy so much—because at the end of the day, they’re people just like us, with stories and memories that span generations.
