In regards to Henry and his wives do you ever think Henry ever understood love or did he love the power her had over them?

Henry is now whinging over the flabby breasts of his 4th wife, Anne of Cleves (Imight Henry have called her her 'Anne of poor-Clevage' behind her back?). As well as fat, Henry should also be rather old and considerably gimpy. Yet, in The Tudors, other than Henry's bang-on whining about his ulcers, he seemingly hasn't aged a day since he met wife #2, Anne B. I am happy to report that at least the series has Anne of Cleves point out that His Grace stinks - only to imagine how much! So, back to my primary question, are we to look forward to a young, albeit smelly, King Henry, being nursed by Wife #6, Katherine Parr, or shall the series jump forward to the long-awaited Prince Edward's reign, or perhaps that of his nasty half sister, Bloody Mary? Or is the series planned to end with Henry? (Great shame that - Elizabeth's reign would Rock-ith the Realm).
