It does seem odd to me (probably as I am used to UK model) with a HRH outranking HM but the reasons given all make sense and I guess we have to remember The Queen Mother may have been HM but Philip was HRH and they seemed to be treated the same.
TBF it also made me think of when Henrik sulked and stomped off to France when Frederik stepped in to host the NY receptions when Daisy couldn't. Henrik though he should, but Daisy was clear it was Fred's role. That is similar to what we see now -the Crown Prince has a more important role after the King (and presumably Queen) than the former Queen.
