You're got the date wrong for one thing. He was long dead by then.
He wasn't able to get a divorce (or annulment, which is the more accurate term) from his wife Katherine because the Pope refused to grant it. The Pope refused for two reasons:
1. An earlier Pope had given Henry permission to marry his brother's widow, and this Pope didn't want to overrule that.
2. Katherine's nephew Philip was laying siege to Rome at the time, and the Pope didn't want to make him any more angry.

So do we - need help with your question I mean. Henry VIII had gone to his eternal rest 400 years before 1951. The King in 1951 was George VI, the present Queen's father.

He failed to get a divorce because he was dead in 1951.

1951?!?!
ah sorry, although i think it may have been the church, and he had an argument when he married anne boyln in private etc, so he wasn't allowed a divorce from the uh...sorry for my language here but, from the important guy at the cathedral (minds gone blank), but you'd have to check me on that.
