Let's suppose that Henry VIII didn't feel the need for a divorce, but poor Catherine died, leaving him with only Mary as a child. He marries Anne Boylen and they have a girl named Elizabeth (who is almost a certainly different person than OTL Elizabeth I thanks to the timeline change, but I don't see why that's a bad name for his second girl) and finds her cheating on him and she meets an ax, if you get the drift. He meets Jane Seymour who gives him twins, a boy (Edward?) and a girl (Jane?). The couple die happy.

Unfortunately for the Tudors, Edward and Mary die young, leaving short reigns. Elizabeth is similar to OTL one, but obviously not anti-Catholic and... lives long but dies with no children. During her reign, the budget is balanced and NA colonies are set up. Jane is the next queen, but while married and old seemingly barren.

Meanwhile, Mary, Queen of Scots and heir presumptive marries an Archduke of Austria (instead of her OTL marriage). Do the Calvanists rebel? Well, how does the Earls take it? Having a Scottish Queen followed by an Austrian King can't be that appetizing. Would the Earls pull off an early Glorious Revolution?
