Well, who would say they had to consummate their marriage? He's the king, could excuse it because he was in mourning (even if he did that forever). Who would argue against the king? I haven't the slightest clue why anyone would think Leopold was selfish and possessive. I believe he was naïve and could be completely duped, like he was with Cora. He held onto the memory of his wife, and I'm sure he wouldn't betray that by doing it with Regina. Plus, the king seemed to be on a lot of trips (or the actor simply isn't available). Also, their customs =/= our medieval customs. Otherwise, Ingrid, Helga, and Gerda would have been married along time ago. They were like in their 30s (their father was in his 70s)
