Even if she hadn't met him I imagine they exchanged some sort of letters or heard of each others achievements over the years. It would be petty of her to let her ex-fiance marry someone who's lying about something so important, especially as a king. Eva later tripping her is definatly a sign of immaturity, but she is young and Cora was never punished for lying to the king. She got away with attempting to pass off her illegitiment child as the king's baby with not so much as a warning. I know we're supposed to empathize with Cora, but Eva isn't as bad as she looks at first glance. The reason people lay so much hate on Eva is because she took pleasure in exposing Cora and ruining her attempt to have a better life. Eva didn't do it out of concern for Leopold, she did it just because she could.

I agree Eva's reasons were not being noble and yes she did take pleasure in doing this to Cora who she had once tripped on purpose.
