How can you say Cora's hatred is justified? I got the impression she didn't even love Leopold, but used him to get her royal status, like she did with Henry. Didn't you see her only looking up when she heard Leopold was a prince?

Of course, she didn't give a damn about Leopold's love, but she certainly did about his wealth and status. She was furious at Eva not because she ruined her chances at love, but because she wrecked her chance to become a queen. Honestly, that would piss me off as well (albeit I wouldn't try to marry a random old guy to get a crown to begin with).

Also, I think this is consistent with Cora insulting her during the trip incident. I mean, would you insult a random royal, even if you're a stubborn, proud woman like Cora was? It wouls suggest they had history. Also, my guess is Cora and her father had to move away from the kingdom after the scandal, which is how they ended up in King Xavier's kingdom. Unless Henry and Leopold are related... Gosh, too many family ties!
