Not really, because those aren't really examples of Twilight not taking her role as royalty seriously.

She couldn't have done anything against Suri without it looking like an abuse of authority -- plagiarism is a minor felony for royalty to address.

Why can't a princess dress like a cheerleader if she wants to? Especially to support her friends? :P

Starlight and the villagers were holding them captive, and they had no means of contacting anyone on the outside.

Being a princess is about more than just enforcing the law. It's about maintaining peace in a time of crisis. It's about being a leader and an inspiration to others. It's about presiding over issues that matter. Most importantly, it's about knowing what's truly important and finding one's place in the world.
