The two women met at Windsor Castle after Ms Merkel’s visit to the Prime Minister at his country residence.
Germany's leader is due to step down later this year, after being in power since 2005.
While waiting to have their picture taken, the Queen told Ms Merkel: "We have got the photographers here, always wanting to take a picture. Making history."
The German Chancellor responded: "Yes, it's history, of course.”
Her Majesty then asked Ms Merkel if she had seen Boris Johnson earlier that day.
Ms Merkel replied: "Yes, in Chequers."
During Mr Johnson and Ms Merkel’s joint press conference, the Prime Minister made sure to mention Germany’s football defeat against England at the Euro 2020.
He said: "I'm very pleased to welcome Angela here on what is the last of I believe her 22 visits to the UK in her 16 years as German Chancellor.
"And in the course of that time, some things have changed beyond recognition but for much of your tenure, it was certainly a tradition for England to lose to Germany in international football tournaments.
"I'm obviously grateful to you for breaking with that tradition just for once."
