What a fascinating discussion! To my eyes it's pretty clear that Henry VIII is wearing stockings in that portrait. You can see the rolled tops at the knees and he is wearing a sort of garter on the left. There are some other interesting aspects to the painting as well. You could say that Henry VIII managed to not only be born to greatness, but also to have achieved greatness and to have had it thrust upon him as well.
