from
Wikipedia
Though Thomas Seymour's name had been linked to Mary Howard, Duchess of Richmond, he was still unmarried at the time of the King's death.
One view is that Thomas schemed to marry either Princess Mary or Princess Elizabeth, Henry VIII's daughters by his first two marriages, and there were rumours that he attempted to pursue a relationship with Elizabeth, still in her early teens.
If he hoped for such a marriage as a route to power, he was unsuccessful, though his secret marriage to Katherine Parr, Elizabeth's guardian, in late April 1547 was viewed by some as an attempt to become close to the young princess.
Anne Stanhope, Somerset's proud wife, disliked Katherine and Thomas, and began to turn many people in court against them.
