King Leopold/Henry

Highly doubt that. Just look at the crest of the guards, their uniform colors, the kingdom of King Xavier was a different kingdom. If Leopold was the older brother he would have been first in succession of King Xavier, so why should Leopold take over the signs, crest and all of another kingdom, of that of princess Eva maybe? Unless they have some weird rule of succession or he had a total fallout with his father. And as Phee said, there was nothing that made them look like brothers.
By the way, it was not the Kingdom of King George either, again different crest, uniforms, colors.

I just listened to last night’s podcast and Daniel mentioned that King Leopold had to have been Henry’s older brother. Please this cannot be true. That would be Regina is his niece and he married her. This would also make Snow and Regina cousins. I’m sorry if this has already been posted, but I am just now getting to the podcast. Also, I though princess Eva was there to possibly marry Henry? For some reason I think she was a princess by birth and wasn’t married yet.

I was pretty tired last night and didn’t catch the whole podcast, but when I came in about 9:45PM, there was a lot of debate going on about this. Most people in the forum kept pointing that out that Leopold and Henry couldn’t have been brothers because that would have meant Regina married her uncle by blood. (Insert puking icon here.)

I thought that Daniel amended his theory, but I think he said something about Sunday night only being for his first thoughts about the episode so I suspect on Wednesday night, there will be clarification over the theory. He said this about 10:30 or 11:00 I believe, and by that time, I could barely keep my eyes open. (It didn’t stop me from staying up until 2:00 though, :lol:.)

Jane Espenson also ruled out the idea of Regina and Snow being related at all too.

Didn’t someone confuse Leopold with George? ( I swear I have to look up Charming’s and James adopted daddy every time I talk about him)…. So that still would make Regina Charming’s cousin, though no blood relation

I’m pretty sure that Eva / Leopold are far away from Xavier / Henry. King George could have been connected possibly sure. But since Regina is Henry’s daughter…a) Leopold would have recognized Henry, Cora, and Regina and b) I’m pretty sure Leopold would not have married his NIECE. Hopefully they will clear that up on the Wed podcast.

It’s easy to think of crazy theories and connect people after first thoughts and then realize that we know more about them than we think we do and it wouldn’t work because of reason a b or c. This is one of those times.
