What if Glorious had been sailing with a rebuilt battlecruiser when the German twins found her?
Short answerA stronger escort would probably come with a senior commander, more screening ships, and aircraft reconnaissance, giving the force time to avoid or contain the German ships.
NotesA carrier and battlecruiser in company would probably have more than two destroyers and include a flag officer. That command structure would be far more likely to insist on air reconnaissance and call in nearby support. Warning matters because it lets the carrier force keep its distance rather than being surprised at close range.
