You could say that Sakura is borderline mary-sueish since at times people think she is adorable and cute but nothing to show for it.

Actually, I give her the benefit of the doubt in the subjects' adoration's account for one reason. I live now in a country with a royal family, and people/the press go ga-ga over their members, particularly the little kids such as the prince Felipe's baby daughters. So it makes sense a country could be nuts about a young princess who hasn't done anything but look cute, because I'm seeing it happen in Spain with the Infantas Leonor and Sofia.

Can't argue with that. But think about it this way: What if Touya doesn't inherit the throne but Sakura does instead? What would be the people's reaction?

Not that she can't do a good job, but still...

Based on Cloney's memories, I'd say it's just 'EVERYONE THINKS SAKURA IS CUTE' and that's it |D;;;

But the apple thing, at least the guy handing Touya the apple seems really comfortable around him? Despite the obvious 'SAKURA-CHAN ♥♥♥♥!11' vibe of that scene, I think it does show that the people in Clow Country love everyone in the royal family.

A-and I think it's overdone 'cause this is, supposedly, a different Sakura-hime. Even if the baby!Sakura-hime in Cloney's memories isn't the cloned one, this one's time was fucked up or something. So, yeah, I think CLAMP is trying to focus on her, and how cute and loved she is, so that when they fuck everything up, we know it'll have impacted everyone in Clow Country? And I'm sure you know that already and it's perfectly understandable to just want a LITTLE bit of focus on Touya. Specially when he was pretty damned important in CCS D:

Dragons just grew up, by the way.
