I just watched the episode the queen is dead. Nowhere in the episode did it state a decade later or what Snow age was. It doesn't even say coming of Age. Wikia needs to be edited on that on. However if we were to go about the way she acted and this birthday she was being presented with a crown I would place her around 12-14 years old. The actress that played youn snow was like 12 so I would say Snow was like 12.

Regina would have been in the age range of 16-18 as during this time setting the average marriage age was 16 years old. I say more about 16 given that Cora isn't the type to tolerate her daughter not being married when others are. Especially given what Cora is capable of.

The issue with everything is that instead of finding someone else to play young Regina like they did with Young snow they just had Lana do it. So basically you have a 12 year old actress and a 30 something year old actress at this point. Ofcourse Regina is going to look years older than Snow given the actresses were atleast around 18+ years apart in age.

With that being said Regina would have waited no more than like 10-15 years before casting the curse. Thus Snow would be around 22-28 and Regina 26-31. However 15 years would be way to long. Personally would peg each as 24 and 28 respectfully. There are a few things wrong here. It is explicitly stated later in the show that Snow was 10 when she met Regina. At this point Snow's mom has been dead for a couple of years, implying that she died around Snow's eighth birthday. Emma says that she and her parents are around the same age, so Snow would have to be close to 28 at the time of the curse and Regina is clearly older than Emma.

Where was that ever stated? Can you give me a source?

I have watched Once multiple times and I don't remeber it ever stating how old Snow was when her mother died or when she meet Regina. They also never gave any indication on the time between the two events. All they say was Snow was Young or a kid. They at no point give any ages.
