Kelly and Meisner taking Diana was a means to keep her off screen while readily accessible when the story required her. Once Diana’s fate as a powerful force for good or evil provided an avenue for Kelly and Meisner taking her, it fell into the abyss along with the Royals.
Adalind hating Renard for ‘giving their daughter away’ was meant to cause conflict between the two characters, but Nick’s direct involvement was ignored because it wasn’t meant to cause Nick/Adalind conflict. So in that sense, neither Adalind nor Kelly would have an adverse reaction that negatively impacted Nick/Kelly or Nick/Adalind unless the story required conflict in one or both relationships. And as evidenced by Adalind’s complete about face from S3 to S5, previously established characterization and motivation wouldn’t necessarily influence either woman’s reaction. Kelly’s only commit about her grandson was for Nick to take care of him and that she liked his name.
FitC, do you know how far ahead of airdates scripts were typically finalized and episodes were shot?

Nick & Adalind became Nick/Adalind because they ignored any elephant in the room that would cause controversy.
