That was your earlier post, nowhere in the transcripts does the embalmer mention Charles was concerned about maintaining her appearance or any instruction from anyone from or connected to the UK to embalm the body, from what I read.
Yes, this situation is kind of "blurry". Apparently the embalmer, Jean Monceau, took the decision on his own. (link)

That's understandable but how could he decide so fast, without being sure if it would be approved by the family and officials. That's rather strange to be so confident when you're dealing with such an event ...
