Exegetical hallucination.
Solomon spared Adonijah (Solomons older brother) life on the promise of "good behavior" though he did not want to recognize Solomon as the Lords choice for the throne. He then asks Bathsheba to petition the king for Adonijah to take one of David's concubines as his wife. Apparently he thought he could lay claim to the throne by backdooring his way in. Solomon instantly recognizes the plan.
So in reading the context of the passage you cited in 1 Kings 2:19 ... it is absolutely clear (Read the whole chapter) that before Bathsheba approached Solomon on behalf of Adonijah that Bethsheba was NOT, as you say, enthroned at the right hand of the King.
Lets look at the actual text shall we?
1 Kings 2:19
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right.
Solomon saw her coming, acknowledged her, then he sat down, then had a throne brought in for her, obviously one that did not exist before she approached the king. They had their conversation about Adonijah and I will let you read the next couple of verses ... because it mauls your theory. Solomon rejects his mothers request and has Adonijah killed.
After this, Bathsheba is not mentioned in scripture at all ... nothing about her ruling with Solomon, nothing about any successors doing likewise, nothing about David's mother sitting at his right hand, nothing about her or any other woman sitting at the right hand of the Father or the Lord Jesus Christ.

Probably not. But, you gave it the ol’ college try.
It’s really simple. What Mary was used to bring forth on this earth died on the cross. Diety doesn’t die, not even for a few hours. And God didn’t leave his soul (Mary didn’t make that part either) in hell. God put that soul back in that body (Mary didn’t do that either), and raised him up from the dead (Mary didn’t do that part either).
How is Jesus Christ God? He’s the fulness of the Godhead bodily. “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself”.
Mary was given a great honor, but she did not make more of God. The vainities of these man-made Mary traditions are endless it seems.
Forgive me, I don’t have much time to deal with this between family and work requirements right now. I will simply ask you, is it common practice for a king to set up a throne for his guests to enjoy? Your response seems to suggest that. No king would set up a throne for anyone but whom that throne belongs. No king would bow before anyone but one worthy of such honor.
Our Lord honors His Mother in accord with the dictates of His Heart and obedience to His Father’s Will. When the mother of James and John asked that they be enthroned by Jesus, He didn’t say He would—because kings routinely set up thrones for the asking... He said that position is already ordained. Scripture gives us a hint through Kings as to the identity of the occupant.
Really. This whole argument is a fallacy in itself. What honor do we have but what the Lord grants? What condemnation do we suffer but what has been proscribed? Is it because of our words or deeds that we are elevated or laid low or is it because the Lord has chosen each in his station? Mary’s station is that of the Queen Mother because she was chosen by God to bear the Son of David. We honor her not because she was a faithful human (though she was) but because our Lord honors her as His own mother enthroned at His Right Hand.
Jesus is Lord... then, now and always—in all times. There is no time He is not Lord. There is no time when He is not part of the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Mary was chosen in time to enter into that reality as the mother of the Son of the Most High. We have all been chosen as children of the Most High through adoption in the New Covenant and have been restored as the Family of God. It is a great mystery and the greatest love story ever told.
These are not trivial issues the Church brings forward as stumbling blocks. These are revealed truths of the reality of Heaven.
