I very much doubt if the Queen took that decision off her own bat.
It was her power that permitted it, no one else in a country 12,000 miles away could overturn the democratic mandate of the people.
the graun have done a load of pieces on this recently, you should read some of them

It's hard to know where this sits in her psyche now, but my guess is she'd have 'processed' it better if she had come back and faced the court. As you say, minimal chance of prison time. And much more importantly, the victims family might have had a bit of closure.
Anyway, back to Prince Nonce.

There's an existing agreement called (I think) the Hague Service Convention which allows papers to be served in reciprocal arrangements via courts. There's no way HRH would have stepped in to request papers were served by the High Court as that would be phenomenonally dimwitted,. it will be the other side that has utilised this mechanism.
Th BBC article on the topic has reported Guiffre's lawyers requested the High Court officially notify HRH of the civil US case.

Yep, recalled the HC earlier but am not up to date on the arrangements. Lolz

Hague Service Convention (1965) different to the Hague Convention of which there are several.

Did you forget that she's the head of State, head of the armed forces, head of the Church of England, and probably the biggest land owner in the country?
What power doesn't she have?
And the whole spiel about the Royals 'not getting involved in politics' is a bit of bullshit that protects them. They very much DO get involved. It's just hidden from you.
The Prime Minister has scheduled weekly 'chats' with the Monarch. I expect they chat about the weather and horse racing.

"The decision to keep it under wraps means the Duke will now have to engage with his own court process in order to request a copy. That would mean accepting that he has been served the lawsuit and then being exposed to a potentially damaging discovery process."

They could have at least tried to match the typeface. It’s compressed something or other, I’d give the answer if I could be arsed spending another five mins or so.

To be fair, given that fight or flight is no longer working, his misfiring adrenal system forces him to hide in his mum's castle. You can't argue with biology.
