Really interesting episode. It seems like the first time the very clearly had a choice to violate the prime directive with emotion. I can't see HQ overlooking what was a clear violation but at the same time the Enterprise ships have always had some extra leeway.
This was fine. Why did they let Wesley have command of anyone or anything
All I can say is, those people would probably be pissed as hell to be assigned under this 16 year-old golden child who gets every opportunity handed to him on a silver platter.

Tricky! So; was the prime directive broken? Consequences will follow...
