Ok--let's look at this objectively--let's just say that Camilla is happy being obedient to her husband, never working, not having opinions about the world, and lettering her man and her children be the center of her world----what's wrong with that? If that makes anyone happy, why criticize that decision? Our society today criticizes women who choose to devote their lives to their families and volunteer work and make them feel like they are not contributing because they're at home.
That being said--I don't get that particular feeling from the Duchess. I think she probably has strong opinions about a multitude of things (a woman who fox hunts is not exactly faint-hearted) but here is the difference between Camilla and Diana---Camilla understands that Charles will be King, and she understands and appreciates the responsibility he has to that role. Thusly, she understands her responsibility to him in his role. Just because she smiles and makes small talk with people and performs her duties elegantly and respectfull, that makes her unopiniated? That's silly--does the Queen ever say anything deep and life-changing when chatting with the crowds? No--she has perfected the art of small talk--and I don't thin we call her the sort of person who is obedient to her husband, never worked, not much opinions,etc....Camilla is following the Queen's lead on decorum and behavior--and I think that is the way it should be done.
As for what Camilla thinks of Charles' work--I highly doubt that they would still be together if she didn't have positive things to say--reading the transcripts of Camillagate you will see that they have a wonderfully, loving relationship based on respect not lack of opinions.
