WI:England Remains Catholic, future Tudor marraiges

So England remaining Catholic, while a favorite topic of mine, has been done to death. Something I haven't seen however, is who would the Catholic royal family marry? BTW I'm using the "one of Catherine of Aragon's sons survives" POD. Assuming Catherine of Aragon dies around 1536-40 who would Henry VIII remarry to? Who would Princess Mary Tudor marry? Would her engagement to the French Dauphin or Duc d'Orleans (OTL Henri II) go threw or would a Habsburg be her destined husband? Finally who would the Prince of Wales marry?
 
Why not have Henry VIII marry the same woman he married in 1536, Jane Seymour. She was around court IOTL and had become Henry's mistress by 1535. She quite possibly served by Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, which if true shows a combination of luck, political skill, and natural charm.

So ITTL she's likely available and already has qualities that we know are capable of catching Henry's eye.
 
Marriage candidates for a Prince of Wales.

- Local candidate #1: a female offspring of Henry Stafford and Ursula Pole.
- Local candidate #2: Mary Howard (later Fitzroy), daughter of 3rd Duke of Norfolk, born 1519.
- Local candidate #3: Margaret Douglas (daughter of Henry VIII's sister Margaret) if the first cousin thing is not too much of a sticking point, born 1515.
- French candidate: Madeleine of Valois (daughter of Francis I), who married James V of Scotland IOTL, born 1520.
- Spanish candidate #1: Catherine of Austria (IOTL Queen of Portugal), born 1507.
- Spanish candidate #2: Maria Duchess of Viseu (daughter of Manuel I of Portugal and Eleanor of Austria), born 1521.


The nationality of the choice will rest heavily on the whims of Henry VIII and his perceived political needs at the time.

Clearly much will also depend upon the year of the POD in which a male child is born and survives.
 
Henry VIII's last four wives all seem to be of similar ages to the three boys Catherine was pregnant with. Any chance one of his OTL wives could be his ATL daughters-in-law?
