Merry Christmas all:)

In 1503, after his queen died, Henry VII's own health in his grief, circled the drain, and he retreated from court cloistering himself at Richmond. Two months later, he was back and he lived until 1509.

What would've happened if he had died in 1503? Obviously Henry VIII would have some serious issues due to him losing both parents in such a short space of time, but Margaret Beaufort would've been regent much as she was in 1509 until Henry's 18th. Would this mean there's a different dynamic for his marriage to Catherine of Aragon?
