If he was just Royal and not King her would have been called Lord Xavier not King Xavier. Also Snow White claimed her kingdom and castle back from Regina. If you look at Snow flashbacks with her mother Eva the Castle they are in looks nothing like the Castle Regina is in. Also the tree from Regina child hood is at that palace. Also Regina was banished from Snow and charming's kingdom and I doubt they let her stay in the castle if she was in their kingdom. Also she retained all her Guards after Snow and charming took the kingdom back.

That was clearly Regina home before she married Leopold. Royals get married to royals all the time look at Eva. Everything points that castle belonging to Regina. Especially since Snow said she wanted to defeat Regina and reclaim her childhood home. Henry wasn't shown to have siblings, but he must've had at least 2, since Cora said she was 5th in line for the throne (Xavier, his wife, any siblings of Xavier or Henry, Henry, then Cora). That's how monarchies work.

And the reason Regina's palace doesn't look the same as Eva's is explained in "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter". Leopold had a white palace, Regina turned it black after she killed him. But Regina's room is Eva's room. And she mentioned in both "Fruit Of The Forbidden Tree" and "Mother" that the tree was from her parents' estate and was dug up and moved to the palace by Leopold as a show of good faith towards Regina.

Again, Snow and Charming invaded King George's kingdom, which was not the same as Regina's. They moved into his palace, and since Regina is... you know, MAGICAL, she got to stay in her palace 'cause she probably killed anyone who came close to it.
