Henry didn't really have an engagement.
In 1502 Henry's brother Arthur died. Henry was made Prince of Wales and heir to the throne. Henry's father greatly wanted the alliance between England and Spain to stay via marriage. And offered Spain Henry marry Catherine of Aragon his brothers widow.
In order for Henry to be able to marry his brothers widow, a dispensation from the Pope was required to overule the impediment of affinity. Catherine swore over and over that the marriage had been unconsummated. Both parties agreed that a papal dispensation of affinity would be prudent to remove all doubt regarding the legitimacy of the marriage. Fourteen months after Arthur died Catherine found herself betrothed to his brother. In 1505, King Henry VII lost interest in an alliance with Spain and Henry declared that the betrothal had been arranged without his consent.
Diplomatic measures over the fate of the proposed marriage lingered until the death of Henry VII in 1509. At 17 years old, Henry married his brothers widow on June 11, 1509 and the two were crowned on June 24, 1509.

How old was Henry VIII when he and Catherine got married?
Catherine of Aragon, a Spanish princess, had married Henry's older brother Arthur, on 14th November 1501. As was common for the time, and especially for royalty, it was an arranged marriage aimed at reinforcing the alliance between England and Spain. Arthur died, aged 16, on 2nd April 1502, and again to support the alliance with Spain, King Henry VII, father of Arthur and the future King Henry VIII proposed that the young Henry should marry his dead brother's widow. Permission for this to take place had to be obtained from the Pope and it was fourteen months later, in June 1503 that Henry and Catherine were betrothed. Henry was then 12 years old. They were married on 11th June 1509, when Henry was 18 years old.
