This "good faith" extensive list of famous left handers lists some royalty, but Henry is not among them. Henry VII may have been left handed, and come through a line of left handers.

On this list of famous and royal left handers: no Henry. As left handedness was considered "sinister" and only about 10% of the human population are left handed naturally, in addition to how much has been researched and written about Henry VIII, it seems he was a right handed man.
