I think part of the trouble here is what is meant by 'approval'.

In my book, approval means that WB showed her the timeline and asked 
if she had any objection to its publication in that form.  It 
doesn't mean that she necessarily agreed with anything in it - just 
that she didn't mind WB putting it out.  It's not as if she's saying 
it's *her* timeline.

I put it on a par with her being happy with films which portray 
Harry with blue eyes.
