This bugged me, but I’m willing to chalk it up to them having needed Neal to know about the castle, and they were hoping no one would remember that he never lived in the castle, because I doubt there’ll ever be an explanation for it.
I’ve heard some people say it is because Neal read Henry’s book and Rumple *is* in the book, at least parts of his story. It would make sense that Belle’s story might be in there, and the Skin Deep part of that takes place inside his castle.
