The Queen gave into the darkness in her heart and murdered her first husband. Emma gave into the Darkness in her when her family betrayed her for some yet unseen event. The Queen always wished to remain hidden so her first husband could never find her. Emma was forced to keep her dual status as the Savior and Dark One hidden in Camelot for fear of being destroyed.

There's plenty of parallels.
