... Diana became an HW asset pretty quickly after Freddie took his helicopter swan dive.
As to HW/Meisner's reason for keeping Diana, I still lean towards Meisner kept her away from her parents because he wanted to keep her because of her powers. As per Meisner, the resistance made a deal with Victor that they would keep Diana after the King was betrayed. However, HW had Diana not the resistance - so we know Meisner fibbed a bit to Sean. So how much of the story was untrue? Was it all of it, most of it or some of it? The resistance supposedly made a deal with Victor to kill the King and keep Diana. Why would they want to keep Diana at this point if they wanted her solely because they didn't want the King to get her? King Freddie was the only royal interested in Diana. I find it interesting that though Diana was being kept by HW, Meisner pinned it on the resistance - similar to how the scoobies wanted the royals to believe the resistance had Diana when they kidnapped Diana from them.
We have that the royals were not interested in Diana after her grandfather's death, not even for her powers. BC was around at the time since HW had already recruited Trubel. However, BC had no interest in Diana until they needed to create a family image for her father, so he could supposedly win an election. So BC did not want Diana for her powers as well, they wanted her so she could pose with her father & mother to look like an actual family. Although they were using her, BC actually did right by Diana since they united her with her parents. I dont recall if Bonaparte showed any interest in Diana's powers.
