Cara Delevingne's photo of her grandmother with Prince Philip is an unexpected yet heartwarming memory.

Both Cara and her sister Poppy shared the memory to Instagram. While Cara shared the image to her IG story, Poppy posted it to her page with a caption which explained the story behind the photo.

"A 17 year old Prince Philip & my Grandmother in Venice, 1938," Poppy wrote. "My cousins remember her saying 'That after meeting him, she thought he’d make someone a very good husband one day.' How right she was."

The photo, said to be taken by Angela's husband, showed her and the soon-to-be prince soaking up the sun on the beach. He wound up marrying Queen Elizabeth nine years later in 1947.
