There are two key advantages I could see Mithian having over Guinevere.

The first is that, as she appears to have been her father's heir, it is very probable that she was educated with that role in mind, so she should have a good grasp of Albion's history, laws, political landscape, etc. This is an advantage that Guinevere would not share; if she's literate, that would be highly unusual for a woman of her class at the time, and her education would be limited to the very basics.

The second is that, as a princess by birth, Mithian would be regarded as an equal by other monarchs while it is to be expected that at least some of them would balk at the idea of dealing with a servant turned Queen.
