Prince of Rascia wrote: Maybe Regina (if she indeed is Ursula) went after Prince Eric instead of Ariel. Ariel was just a pawn whom she wanted to use to harm Prince Eric in some way. If he's, for example, Queen Eva's brother he would be in the line of succession so that would explain Regina's motives. Ariel/Eric story could happen after Snow was put under Sleeping curse, Regina wanted to eliminate him cause he was a threat to her claim to the throne. If Prince Eric is related to Snow White, through her mother's side, he still does not have a claim to Regina's throne. Regina was married to King Leopold, just like Eva was. It is a different kingdom, as you are talking Leopold's throne. Queen Eva, was a princess of the Northern Kingdom. It was Cora, who was obsessed with stealing Eva's throne.... not Regina.

PS: 3.06 probably takes place, around the same time as 1.12 and 2.11.... a.k.a. before Snow White ever met Prince Charming.
