yet he was apparently unwilling to let her go, he did after all imprison her in her chambers.
We know this for sure? Where does this come from?

Henry I: The King has locked her away in her chambers. My daughter is a prisoner in her own kingdom.
Genie: You are the Queen’s father?
Henry I: Please, take this to her. The palace guards won’t allow me into her chambers. They know I’d die for her.

But this is after Regina is suspected of having an affair with someone in the castle.

Thanks RG. Fruit of the Poisonous Tree was such a long time ago. I forgot about it. Still, the idea of King Leopold being so mean and cruel to Regina doesn’t line up with what we’ve seen of his character. I don’t know. Someone, I’ve never trusted that line. I feel like Regina could have lied to her father about that.

I think he’s only mean and cruel in this instance because he thinks he’s been cuckolded, which was a very big deal to kings in ye olde tyme. He needs to make sure that her virtue is safe because it reflect on him as a husband and ruler. I don’t think Leo is outright cruel in general–later in that episode when he speaks to the Genie he even acknowledges that he knows Regina is unhappy because of his inability to get over Eva. I think if Regina had fallen in love with Robin and then asked for a divorce, Leo might have granted it.

That’s a good point. While it might have pained Leopold and hurt his sense of honor, I don’t think that he would’ve kept her locked away if Regina had sought his sense of mercy. After all, Leopold is the one who granted the genie his wish to be free. He was a good king and not the type to want more wealth or power. Assuming marriages could be dissolved, Leo probably would have just divorced Regina in quiet, and after a certain amount of time had passed, granted Regina leave to steal away to Sherwood Forest to be with Robin.

Just to clarify my post does not imply that he is cruel or unjust merely that he like all our characters is flawed. It must be said however that he did neglect his wife (Regina) and all the attention he lavished on Snow would make Regina feel that much more isolated. In the end the story is about human frailties is it not? Devil’s advocate here let’s substitute Robin for the Genie in Fruit of the Poisonous Tree. When the lines from Regina’s diary are recited she recounts how the gift of the mirror rekindled her hope for love and companionship even though she was a prisoner of her husband’s court. Leopold then says that while he knows her to be unhappy he never believed she would betray him, saying that love makes people do foolish things. If Leopold felt that Regina having an affair was a betrayal it stands to reason he’d feel the same if she ran off with Robin abandoning him and Snow.

Good point. I am curious, would Cora’s barrier still have worked after the divorce though?

I think so because after she pushes Cora through the mirror, Regina seems to be under impression that she can leave. As if Cora had to physically be in the EF in order for the barrier to work. Once she was in WL, the barrier fell and Regina could leave.
