I have been wondering this myself. Henry was stated as being a "prince" so Cora and Regina should each have been princesses. Since Cora could spin straw into gold it couldn't be that the kingdom went bankrupt. Perhaps it was conquered. Cora mentioned that she was fifth in line to be the queen. People before her in line could be: the king, the king's wife (?), Henry. Obviously that's not enough people. Maybe Henry had an older sibling.

Whatever happened to their kingdom it must have been big and permanent because Cora was forced to set her sights on King Leopold and Qeen Eva's kingdom.
