Wallis and Elizabeth did meet at Balmoral.
Edward was already King. The King was going to Balmoral after Ascot, but couldn't do an engagement in Aerdeen becomes he was mourning, and instead sent Bertie and Elizabeth (because mourning didn't apply to both brothers). And while he couldn't do the Abderdeen engaement, he did drive to the rail station to pick up Wallis and the Rogers (Herman and Katherine). While George and a pregnant Marina came at a rail station that wasn't so close to Balmoral and waited to be picked up, but this wasn't good enough for Wallis (Davids fault IMO). So Also, the King didn't invite the Archbishop of Canterbury (because he knew how the Archbishiop felt about David, Wallis and their relationship). Instead the Archbiship stayed with the Yorks.
This is the time frame that Wallis acted as the hostess, and Elizabeth did her "I came to dine with the King" speech.
They met the first time the pre wedding event for George and Marina, where some thought that Wallis attempted to upstage the bride to be (with her attire and jewels). They also met a Royal Lodge where Wallis made suggestions to their garden (taking down the trees and moving part of the hill for a better view) with David. After popping without a proper invitation (though I think that is more David's fault than Wallis), but again it was viewed as a power play as the Yorks lived at the grace and favor Royal Lodge as a courtesy of the King. And making a suggestion about their graden, was viewed as I have the power to change aspects of your home and you can't do anything about it.
