Well, actually they didn't realize that at first -- Holmes thought she really was blackmailing him. Watson felt bad about it when he saw how nice she was being to Holmes, but he also thought she was blackmailing him and told himself he was being silly because they weren't hurting her, just stopping her from hurting the King.

It was only when they read the letter that they realized that they had assumed that the King's sexist assumptions about Irene were true when they were actually nothing but bullshit suppositions because the King was so puffed up that he was convinced his penis was so amazing that Irene would do anything to destroy him for depriving her of it.

Also, Holmes knowingly letting Irene go would kind of completely defeat the entire purpose of the story and the reason Holmes respects Irene in the first place.
