Joanna is far too young for John III’s firstborn. He need to marry Maria with all the consequences of such match
 
Prompt: Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor accepts the Farnese Family's offer of Vittoria Farnese as a second bride.

Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (b. 1500 d. 1558) m. Isabella of Portugal (b. 1503 d. 1539) and Vittoria Farnese (b. 1519 d. 1602)

  11. Stillborn Daughter (b. 1545 d. 1545)
  12. Vittoria of Austria (b. 1546 d. 1550)
Philip II can not make his OTL marriages with younger half-brothers around as the match with Mary is pretty much ASB here. He would be likely remarried to Maria of Viseu or Marguerite of France in the years after Maria Manuela‘s death and in any case Mary would not look to Spain for an husband (she originally wanted Charles not Philip and was not convinced to marry him. She agreed to the match only when Charles gave to his son the Crown of Naples for making him a King in his own right and promised the Netherlands as inheritance for Philip and Mary’s children. Here Mary will likely sought the future Emperor Ferdinand as husband)

@Jan Olbracht and @isabella can correct me, but I suspect that Affonso VI would be married to Marguerite de Valois instead of waiting a decade to marry Juana. Especially since there was a point in the 1540s when it looked like Catalina would die and François suggested his youngest daughter. Also, after Karl V rejected her [Marguerite] in 1540 (François pressed the suit when Karl was in Paris, still in mourning for Isabel), I suspect the French would demand a "token sacrifice"
 
Probably ASB, but I love me some Hans of Denmark (1518-1532) surviving:

Hans, Governor of the Netherlands [1545[1]-1552], Prince of Denmark, Sweden & Norway (1518-1552) 1m: 1541 [2] Marguerite de France (b.1523)

Margrethe (b.1561)​
Christian (1563-1567)​
Morits (b.1564)​

Margarethe (1575-1589)​
Franz (1577-1582)​

Franz (1584-1586)​
Isabella (b.1585)​

[1] Karl V accepts one of his sister, the Queen of Hungary's resignation requests
[2] as OTL, François proposes his sole surviving daughter for Karl V as he passes through Paris. Karl refuses, but suggests his nephew, Hans, in his entourage instead. François is not pleased by the idea of a match with a "landless" prince, but given that his sisters are duchess of Lorraine and Electress Palatine, figures it could be worse.
[3] Mary Tudor lives slightly longer, so Élisabeth de Valois and D. Carlos marry (OTL Kristina of Denmark was attempting to marry her own daughter to Felipe II as a third wife)
[4] Frederik II dies in one of his drinking bouts, with no issue. His brother, Magnus, and his mother, Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg's ship sank en route to Sweden. Leaving his brother, Johann of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön as heir. However, into the dispute between the two Johanns (Frederik II's brother and his uncle, Johann of Schleswig-Holstein-Haderslev) Karl's name is touted as a third candidate. Nobody's convinced, but the fact that he's male, married to a Lutheran (at least), technically the senior-most heir to Denmark, and brings connections at a time when Denmark is increasingly diplomatically isolated...oh, and he has a son, means he sort of wins out by default (even if nobody is particularly thrilled)
[5] marriage arranged to ensure Adolph's support for Karl. Was not a particularly happy one due to mismatched temperaments (religious and personality-wise)

I think who Alfonso would marry Maria of Austria without any discussion of other matches for either of them, but between Marguerite and Juana without doubt the first
