Unlike the case of Edmund Tudor, of course Edward Prince of Wales was presented as Henry VI's son - because a) Margaret was married to Henry, b) Henry was of superior rank to Edmund Beaufort, and c) Edward's status as Henry's son was vital for the succession.
Edmund, and his son Henry, were Tudors - for good or bad, and they did suffer slights because of that name.

Arthur died within months and Henry secured a papal dispensation for Catherine to marry Arthur's brother, the future Henry VIII ; this single event had the widest-ranging effect of all Henry's actions: Henry VIII's annulment from Catherine was the impetus for the separation of the Church of England from the body of Roman Catholicism.
