Katherine Parr was technically the only wife to outlive Henry VIII but one of his divorced wives, Anne of Cleves, also outlived him. Katherine Parr married Henry because he wanted to marry her, as he needed someone to look after him in his old age. At that time it would have been very hard to say no to a king! No doubt her family would also have pushed her to do it as it would have brought them wealth, land and a higher social standing to be related to the Queen of England.
Why did henry divorce anne?
because, if you are talking about King Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves, he thought she 'looked like a horse'- in other words, he thought she wasn't much of a looker :/ this all happened because she lived very far away, and Henry couldn't be bothered to go see her so he sent for a painter to paint her but the painter had complimented her features so Henry would marry her. so, Henry married her because she looked (in the painting) pretty.
What was Anne of Cleves known as?
It is often said that Henry VIII referred to her as the 'Flanders Mare' but if he did he would only have said this in private.

After the divorce and due to the amiable relationship that formed between Henry and Anne she was referred to as the king's 'sister'.
Who was the uglyest wife of Henry VIII?
Anne of Cleves was Henry's least favorite wife. He liked her "not at all" . Even prior to their wedding ceremony he put his advisors to work, trying to get himself released from the betrothal. He tells others that she stinks and is not physically attractive. This is the only wife Henry agreed to marry before actually getting a look at her in person. She was also only the second of his wives that were from another country. Her portrait shows a pleasant faced woman, attractive in her own way, far prettier in my opinion than his fifth wife Catherine Howard. Henry never consummated his marriage to Anne of Cleves, leaving himself an out. If the marriage wasn't consummated, there would be no further heirs to the Tudor line and Henry's counsel wanted more males. Ultimately Henry fell in love again, quickly to Catherine Howard, Anne Boleyn's cousin and Anne of Cleves, perhaps relieved that she was going to keep her head agreed quickly to an annulment and lived out her days as the King's own sister, the Dowager Princess
