South African President Nelson Mandela met Britain's Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle on Monday on his way to the European Union summit in Cardiff.
The pair chatted about family, including the Queen mother, who has just become the oldest Royal in British history.
On a typically grey summer's day at Windsor Castle, President Mandela, who is 79 years old, exchanged pleasantries with the Queen.
President Nelson Mandela told her she was looking very well.
The 72-year-old monarch responded with: "I'm my mother's daughter."
The Queen Mother is now officially famous for her age.
At 97 years and 315 days old, the Queen Mother has entered the record books as the oldest royal in British history.
Mandela said he was sorry he missed her great grandson, Prince Harry, when he visited South Africa last year.
The Queen also proudly told Mandela that 13 year old Harry had passed the entrance exam into Britain's exclusive school, Eton.
President Mandela told the Queen he thought the exam questions were very difficult - it turned out he had looked at some of the exam papers before arriving at the castle.
The President then headed to Cardiff, and the E-U summit, where he will be guest of honour at a luncheon on Tuesday.
