WI: Henry the Young King's wife dies instead of his son?

In 1177, Margaret Capet, daughter of King Louis VII of France and his second wife, gave birth to the son of Henry the Young King, the oldest surviving son of Henry II Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine, Louis VII's first wife. The boy, William, died after three days. The birth also seems to have had an adverse effect on Margaret, as she had no further issue by Henry or her second husband, Bela III of Hungary.

The question I ask is what if Margaret ended up dying instead of William? Would this butterfly away Henry's OTL death?
 
Assuming Henry the Young King still dies as OTL: when Henry II dies, would his 12 years old grandson become William III or his uncle Richard would take the throne?

I don't think so. Essentially Henry's rebellion - which led to him campaigning, and so contracting the disease that killed him - was about his lack of actual power following his coronation as king under his father. Whilst his brothers got lands and responsibilities, Henry had neither as Henry II wanted and needed the revenues and powers of king in England. To change the Young Kings death you need to alter the power dynamics in the Angevin Empire.

Henry the Young King's son becomes William III in 1189.
Who should be the regent: Uncle Richard or Uncle John?
Or should Richard and John be regents together? Each brother has equal power.

That depends if Henry II has willed it that way.
I expect he may have a contingency depending on when he himself dies. William would certainly be Duke of Normandy, and Count of Anjou-Maine-Touraine.
The closer William is to adulthood when Henry goes the more likely he will be king with a regency including Richard, Geoffrey, and John (depending who is still around). The younger William is the more likely the Kingship goes to the eldest uncle (and perhaps then to William if they are childless!)
