The Church of England was formed in the 6th century by Saint Augustine of Canterbury.
Henry VIII sought an annulment on legitimate grounds (Leviticus 20:21), which is completely different to divorce.
The Pope denied this annulment as he was under siege by Charles, King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who did not want the marriage annulled for POLITICAL reasons, as he was related to Catherine of Aragon and had influence in the English realm and court from her marriage to Henry.
After breaking from Rome, Henry VIII remained an ardent supporter of core Catholic theological teachings - he had even argued against Luther and released treatises against him. The Church of England was still Catholic, it was just out of communion with Rome, in the same way as various medieval European Catholic rulers had been when they were excommunicated or in political struggle with the Pope. It is likely that the Church of England would have quickly come back into communion with Rome if it wasn't for Mary, who was responsible for killing Catholicism in England by persecuting Protestants purely because of their faith and allowing England to be made a Spanish puppet through the Catholic Church.
The Church of England as we know it today was not created until the reign of Queen Elizabeth I with the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, a compromise between Protestants and Catholics in England to make the Church of England "CATHOLIC and REFORMED". It was at this point the Church of England became "Protestant".
So no, the Church of England was not created by "a fat king so he could fuck xddd", it existed as an institution since the 6th century, established by a saint. It did not become Protestant until the reign of Queen Elizbeth I, some time after Henry VIII's reign and death. It was always isolated from Rome and separate from the Catholicism of Continental Europe and modern Catholicism. It would have came back into communion with Rome if it wasn't for the actions of Queen Mary.
