Example for subgroups $H$ and $K$ where $HK = K H$ and neither $H$ nor $K$ is normal?

Let $G$ be a finite group with proper non-trivial subgroups $H$ and $K$.
If $H K = K H$, then $H K$ is obviously a subgroup of $G$. It is well-known that $H$ or $K$ being normal implies that $H K$ is such a subgroup.
Question: Is there a finite group $G$ with proper non-trivial subgroups $H$ and $K$ such that $H K = K H$ and neither $H$ nor $K$ is normal in $G$?

Sure, take the subgroups generated by $(12)$ and $(34)$ inside $S_4$. It's probably more interesting to ask that neither $H$ nor $K$ be normal in $HK$. For that case, consider subgroups where $|HK|$ is equal to $|G|$. You can always find $|HK|$ in terms of $|H|$ and $|K|$.

For a specific example of this take $G=S_n$, $H$ the cyclic subgroup $langle (1,2,3,ldots,n) rangle$, and $K cong S_{n-1}$ a point stabilizer.
