Exactly. They weren't King & Queen, but they were Land Owners, and therefore Nobility. Probably something on the order of Count/Countess. And honestly, Henry seemed the type to be satisfied with his lot in life, much more laid back than Cora. So he was happy to live is comfort with Cora (who I think he really did love) and Regina (who he definitely did love, as a daughter just to be clear).
