The difference is Henry married Anne.
The story is very odd. He sent Holbein to paint her on instructions to be strictly accurate. The portrait still exists and shows an average girl, certainly not ugly.
Henry did not meet her until after the marriage contract and was immediately disappointed. He did, however go through with the marriage. He never consummated it and could not get past his initial disappointment. Henry later asked for an annulment.
More clever than beautiful, Anne readily consented. In gratitude he conferred estates on her, some of which were former Boleyn family estates. She was often at Court, where Henry treated her as his honored sister.
In those tumultuous times, she lived a comfortable and peaceful life.

This story sounds made up. Well, if it didn't actually happen, it should have.

This also happened to Anne of Cleves when she was sent to England to wed Henry VIII. Except, I don't think an airport was involved.Henry VIII should have went after Ann of Cleevage instead.

Some sources say the issue with the picture was that the full-face view didn’t concealed how very large her nose was.

Well that was pretty much a miracle! “Somewhere in her youth, or childhood, [she] must have done something good.”

Should have kept the female Muslim head bag on until after the ceremony and then just blended in with the rest of the camels.

Yes, considering of Henry's six wives two were executed and one died as a result of the complications of childbirth.
Anne was also helped by a lack of interest in religion, unusual for that age. When Mary was on the throne she converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism. Princess Elizabeth, in contrast, came very close to trial for treason, which would have meant death.
