  1. Merriam-Webster Gives the meanings “grand” or “swell”. I think the use of the word “lovely” might be more of a British thing.
  2. “Lovely” shows a bit more enthusiasm.

Btw, it seems strange that they both repeat this type of purely social greeting. It’s like they can’t think of anything else to say.
