I don't think it's protocol or on purpose. Just by chance that Benedikte and Christina are standing like that.
It may have been a coindicence, but on the other hand it's not unusual that the highest ranking person stands in front even on less formal occasions. The royals are so used to this pecking order See for instance this recent picture from a day where the Queen was not at the palace. Princess Benedikte's granddaughter Ingrid von Pfeil and her distant cousin Nonni Vind remained a step behind the princess.
