That might be because it wasn’t originally built for Henry. It was given to him by Cardinal Woolsey because it was so large and spectacular that Henry was jealous, and Woolsey, wanting to keep his head, thought it better to gift it to Henry.

I read that the public was allowed in Marie Antoinette's bed chamber too. As soon as start thinking 16th century folks were like us, we realize how different they were when you consider that they had very little need for the privacy we all feel is essential to our lives nowadays.

Henry didn't "meddle with the Church of England". He created the Church of England in order to marry Anne Boleyn since the Pope would grant him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. Prior to the Church of England of which Henry was the head, Henry like the rest of England followed the Catholic faith.

eavesdropper information is incorrect. those characters are indoors. Tudor houses traditionally were built with the upper storey projecting out from the building. An eavesdropper or spy would stand in the street under the projecting storey above and listen to conversations in the room above which was usually the main living/meeting area

Snuff enjoyed worldwide popularity befor and since smoking Tabasco from the Americas. There were much the same vices for smoking just a different product thru time with different forms of consumption. Much like tea and coffee when neither can be obtained other products are used - there was acorn offer, chicory coffee and more. Stiff called coff but not really lol stilled called tobacco but not really - but ppl smoked it still.

William then reigned as sole monarch of all three kingdoms until his death in 1702.

You have no knowledge what so ever. This wasn't built by a completely absolute monarchy like Versailles. This wasn't even finished. King William and Queen Mary did indeed want to rival Versailles, but Queen Mary died and King William lost interest in the building work. It's not that grand inside neither because most of it was sold off or got rid of. Remember the English Civil War happened before this was built and the British Monarch could never build super grand palaces. They weren't allowed to. Perhaps if the building work was finished inside and out, it would probably be compared to Versailles very highly. The gardens and architecture on the Bourque palace are very much there.
