Coming back to her problems with her sisters-in-law, don't you think they want to learn her the "diplomatic language" and she disagrees...
Her sisters-in-law think she's not able to have activities but everywhere else, each new first Lady, each new princess have activities immediately after her husband's election or her wedding, whatever her age or background, even Mette-Marit or Mrs Bush. In Paris, everyone notice she was very relevant, so much more pertinent than others princesses, so she's not unable.
i understand she would be very upset her sisters-in-law are thinking she's the only not able in the world. It's just a girls' affair between sisters who have very closed relationship with their brother, who made arranged marriages and who had been forbidden to make studies at university by their father.
That's why it's rather a problem of diplomatic behaviour : in meetings, you have to shake your hands and to congratulate everybody, even if you are totally against this person.
