Yes. Both Mary and Elizabeth succeeded to the throne. Edward succeeded first, and for nine days after he passed away, Lady Jane Grey ruled. Mary quickly threw her down and took the throne and after she passed away, Elizabeth took the throne and became arguably one of the best rulers of England.

Why was Henry Carey not king?

Henry Carey, while rumored to be the lovechild of Mary Boleyn and King Henry VIII, was not considered an heir to the throne because he was never acknowledged as Henry VIII's child, let alone a legitimate child. This is the same reason Henry Fitzroy was not considered a Tudor heir; he was produced by an affair between the King and Bessie Blount, and therefore, declared illegitimate. Both Princess Mary (daughter of King Henry and Queen Katherine) and Princess Elizabeth (daughter of King Henry and Queen Anne) were declared illegimate at one point as well. However, his last wife, Catherine Parr, convinced him to restore them as legitimate and, thus, heirs to the throne. After King Edward (son of King Henry and Queen Jane) died after a short reign, Princess Mary became Queen, but was shortly overthrown in favor of Elizabeth, who would rule for decades.
