The Enchanted Forest is clearly based on Rennaisance Europe (1200-1500) and in those days, even before and after, the wedding night of a royal couple would have multiple people waiting outside the bedroom to ensure the bride's purity and to change the bedding after the first time the couple lays together. So not only did Regina lose her virginity to Leopold, she had to in front of a crowd of nobles, which would have been heartbreakingly humiliating for her.

And even if A&E didn't think about it at that level, the simple fact is that this is a man who was married to a young, beautiful woman who "belonged" to him. If you think that in multiple years of marriage, he never once touched what he (incorrectly) thought was rightfully his, then... Well, I don't even know how to respond to that.
