Seasons 3 and 4 had her as a primary concern and the keys were forgotten about for the entirety of season 4 and the first half of season 5. Diana pretty much replaced the keys as the most coveted thing in the world for the royals.
In looking back at the series, it seems Diana ended up being created as a "give Adalind something to do" rather than a "she has a destiny for good or for evil" plotline.

They both had this new exotic feel to it because we hadn't seen anything like them previously. It's too bad they both felt really disjointed right from the start and felt like they never should've been introduced in the first place because it felt like they were from a different show whenever they were on screen.
The same goes for HW even though it had familiar characters. Now that I think about it, HW feels more like the Winterfell arc in the later seasons.
I could tolerate Trubel and Eve in HW. After all, they were regular characters who possessed qualities that an organization like HW might be interested in. The biggest blunder with regard to HW in my opinion was putting Meisner in charge of it all.
I liked the BC concept, mainly because they didn't try to stick some royal in charge but instead brought in new actors and situations. I agree with you that it felt like a different show whenever they were on screen. But I also believe that stems from improper development. The series relied on the viewers to fill in the massive gaps that would have naturally been filled, had the organization begun in season 1, when the series was in its infancy.
