Henry VIII's had six siblings, 3 died at birth, of the three who survived he had one brother ... Arthur (the Prince of Wales) and two sisters Margaret and Mary.

Arthur was older than Henry by five years. But because Arthur died just 4 months after getting married to Catalina de Aragon, Henry inherited the throne.
Yes, he had two brothers. Arthur who was 5 years older than Henry and Edmund who was 8 years younger. But both died young- Arthur died aged 15 and Edmund died aged 1 year and 2 months.
Henry had seven siblings but only three survived infancy.

His older brother, Prince Arthur was born born in 1486 and was the heir-apparent, making Henry an second Prince, or the "Spare" Prince. Arthur died at age 16; possibly of pulmonary tuberculosis, making Henry the heir-apparent, at age 10.

His older sister Princess Margaret, was born in 1489, and later became Queen of Scotland.

His younger sister Princess Mary, was born in 1496. Henry VIII married her to King Louis XII of France in 1514. Louis was aged 52 and Mary 18 but Mary was only Queen of France for three months as Louis soon died. Mary then quickly married Henry VIII's close companion Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Their daughter, Frances, was the mother of Lady Jane Grey, 'the nine day queen'.
