I think the comic could have aged Grace up a little more, but then again, there's the whole ball portion we missed.

If we go by Frozen's timeline, then Charming becoming Prince and the DC being cast happened in two years which I don't believe at all.

I think it's more like 3-4 years because Snow and Charming shenanigans and the whole taking the kingdoms and then the pregnancy has to take place.

At this pace, it's easier to make them not related because of timeline error. (Although, I'm sure they were heavily implying Lady Tremaine and being related to Cinderella.) The writers confirmed that Ingrid waited many years before giving the hat back to the Apprentice. It was on Twitter and it was linked here.

So the most likely scenario is that the Frozen storyline happens around the late 70's, maybe 77, 78. Then Ingrid waits until 82 to go to the Land Without Magic, then the DC hits in 83.

My only concern is... Did Anastasia lose Thomas to Ella BEFORE or AFTER she became Red Queen? Because the current timeline would fit perfectly if in fact Lady Tremaine had three biological daughters (two of whom are in Storybrooke with her) and Anastasia comes back from Wonderland temporarily to try to win her mother's favor at the ball, only to fail miserably when Ella gains Thomas' favor. I've detailed the theory in a few other threads. And since Jabberwocky only brings up everything with Ana in the present day, it's still very viable.

This could also be how Jafar and Ana met, as he could've just had a run-in with Regina during his genie hunt (as we all know, she has a genie in her posession).
