I think the Wales' have made extra effort to put Kate out there and looking happy and relaxed because of stories like this that have been circulating since the coronation:

There was also some scuttlebutt about Kate "upstaging" the king and queen at a flower show, and it's just interesting how much press coverage the Wales have gotten, but especially Kate, since the coronation -- they are much more visible than Charles or Camilla.
I wouldn't assume anything about Kate's actual emotions based on any of this, but she (and her team) are doing a good job with her image in terms of making her look busy and likable, which is pretty much her entire job.
