So following on from this thread, to confirm what has changed:

The bouts that took Henry and his sister Mary otl are less severe, both of them survive. There is a double marriage for Charles II and Henry, with Charles marying Catherine of Braganza as otl, and Henry marrying Maria of Orange Nassau in 1661. Mary, Princess Royal would marry her cousin Prince Rupert.

The Duke of York's daughter Mary would be betrothed and then marry her cousin Charles of Gloucester, whilst Anne;s marriage is either to Pedro of Portugal or up in the air.

James, Duke of York would himself die in 1682, from an accident-maybe a molehill takes him out- Prince Rupert would die in 1684.

Internationally, Pedro II might marry Anna Luise of Orleans-Carlos II's otl wife- as his second wife, and we might well see Medici Spain through Gian Gastone marrying Maria Antonia (depending on your thoughts @Valena ). For Spain, Medici, Bourbon or continued Habsburg Spain is optional.

In Russia, Ivan V would be born without autism, therefore more likely to take command of Russian administration earlier, avoiding some of the troubles of the regencies.

If there's anything else I've forgotten, or you would like to see please do comment!
