Naturally, because it's an undeniable truth that Joachim is the perfect gentleman.
QMII is a stickler for protocol in the sense that guests and other people the DRF deals with in an official capacity is always treated according to the protocol. In that way no one can feel snubbed.
And as QMII is fond of saying: "It's after all only possible for one at a time to go through the door".
I think she allows herself to be more lax when it comes to close family. The interaction has never been stiff between the members of the DRF, even when the show is on. - The respectful formalities are always counterbalanced by something warm, like a kiss on the cheek or a loving ruffling of the hair. (Like PH did to Frederik once).
However, M&F are special and they might just as well get used to it, so that it never becomes awkward for them.
Joachim, our Marie and Benedikte are further down the line so they can be more relaxed. Joachim is merely treating our Marie with the same curtsy I'm convinced PH would do, if he didn't happen to be Prince Consort.
And should Joachim drive with both Marie and Benedikte in the same car, I'm certain he would ensure his wife and moster (maternal aunt) would get out first.
Let me put it in another way: From what you know of Frederik, do you think if Frederik and Joachim swapped places in the line of succession, that Frederik wouldn't allow Mary to get out from the right side of the car, even though he technically outranks her?
