when diana died, there was all sorts of crap. The public were expecting the royal institution to kick into play and have a respectful mourning period. The institution was blamed, but it was specifically the queen that would not allow the flag on the palace to be flown at half mast etc. It was only after extreme public pressure that she relented. If that story about Harry not asking for permission came from the palace, it came from the queen. Thats the kind of person she is. They could have settled things down by saying nothing, but they chose to ramp it up a notch. I don't know how that type of behaviour can be defended.
