The Queen and Marie both exited closest to the building. Does this mean anything?
Normally the higher ranking person is seated on the right side of the car,

the Queen is higher ranking than Prince Hendrik
Prince Frederik higher ranking than his spouse

So my conclusion is that Prince Joachim did the "wrong" thing, but I find it nice and charming to do such a thing for you beloved wife.
