I'm guessing Victor saw Diana as a possible future usurper. The King was obsessed with his granddaughter and her powers. She was his illegitimate grandchild, but times are a'changing and Eric was gone. The King might groom Diana so well that she might want to takeover upon his death. The King had lost faith in Victor. He had pulled him out of Portland and brought in Kenneth. By taking care of the King quickly, before he returned to Austria and completely removed him from the helm of affairs, Victor secured his own position which was a great move on his part.
On the topic:
After the scoobies & Sean had taken Diana and handed her to Kelly, IIRC Tavitian met with Sean and warned him that the resistance too would be looking for Diana. Basically, the resistance wanted the child for themselves. There was no mention of the child's mother, just that they too would be looking for the child. Kelly knew of a prophecy about a child. She was possibly briefed, by the resistance, about the special child they were rescuing when they hired her to get Adalind & Diana out of Austria. Maybe that's why Kelly felt no qualms about subverting the plan the resistance had for Diana; aside from the fact that the resistance had also been compromised.
Meisner paid a lot of attention to Diana's powers while they were on the run in Austria. The hexenette conversion to agent Eve was Meisner's project at HW, maybe his dream was to become Diana's handler as well? I believe someone mentioned something similar before on the forum, or maybe not.
