Duke (4.14)

This duke alerts Queen Regina of the upcoming wedding between Briar Rose and King Stefan. He appears in "Enter the Dragon".

Before the Curse
In the Enchanted Forest that was, Regina walks down the road after her encounter, looking defeated, when a carriage rides past her and stops per the passenger's request. He opens the door's window and asks Regina what she's doing in the middle of nowhere. She answers that she's walking home to Leopold's castle, so the man comments that it's a long walk, offering her a ride as far as the next kingdom as he's headed that way for the royal wedding. Regina wonders which wedding he's talking about, so he explains that the queen's daughter, Aurora is to be wed. This news seems to upset Regina.
