She was the last surviving legitimate offspring of King Henry VIII of England who could claim the throne. King Henry VIII only had three legitimate royal children who were rightful heirs to his throne including two daughters and only one son.

According to the English succession act, male heirs comes before female heiresses, so upon King Henry VIII's death, Prince Edward at the age of 9 ascended the throne as King Edward VI of England, he died of tuberculosis on 6 July 1553. He named his cousin Jane Grey as his successor who was a Protestant instead of his sister Mary Tudor was who was a devoted Catholic. She was executed for treason 9 days later, where his eldest sister Mary was crowned Queen of England and Ireland who died childless on 17 November 1558. On the exact same day, Elizabeth Tudor finally took over the English monarchy and was crowned Queen of England and Scotland until her own death on 24 March 1603 (which also marked the end of the Tudor Dynasty because she died childless).
