I agree; I think Meisner was either working on his own, or he was working for Tavitian. I doubt Sean will shed any tears over the King's death, but I don't think he had anything to do with it, either. I think this because:

1) Sean had a lot of other things on his mind at the time; he was still recovering from the whole Jack the Ripper thing.

2) This must have taken a lot of planning and infiltration, during which time, Sean would have been preoccupied with Jack the Ripper and with Juliette.

3) It doesn't seem subtle enough for a "Sean" plan. Eric's assassination and the assassination of that random cousin (whose name I forget) seem like exceptions rather than the rule. They were performed because Sean was pushed to the edge, and always in circumstances that he was either personally far removed from (like with Eric) or with circumstances that, as a captain in the PPD, he could control (like with the random cousin). The King's death will launch a major investigation with authorities that aren't under Sean's command, and could point back to him or Nick.
