I think we should change the portrait
The portrait shown has been proved posthumous[1] and is attributed to the wrong artist. It is not an accurate depiction of the Queen in her life and therefore I think it should be changed to a contemporary portrait.

- @Kay930615: Perhaps you could suggest a better image? There might be something in commons:Category:Catherine of Aragon that would be appropriate. Also, as a general rule of thumb, it is better to propose (and argue for) the specific changes you want than to enumerate the problems with the status quo. Wikipedia being entirely volunteer run, it's much easier to get feedback on a specific change than participants in an open-ended discussion. And if worse comes to worse, if nobody ventures an opinion in a reasonable period after you have proposed the change, you may go ahead and assume you have consensus for your proposal. --Xover (talk) 20:58, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

- The trouble is, there is no portrait of any quality (afaik) that certainly depicts Catherine. There are some very high-quality portraits that might depict her. Meanwhile the present nonsense caption (an insult to Hornebolte, who would never have produced anything so poor) should be changed. The Sitter page of the NPG shows the best options - the "new" Lambeth portrait is probably the best. Johnbod (talk) 22:04, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
name
to quote this article: "Catherine herself signed her name "Katherine" . . ._ but wikipedia persists in using the C form. A bit arrogant, don't you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.110.36 (talk) 16:15, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
Catherine of Aragon.... or Catherine of Spain ?
because her mother was Isabella, queen of Castile, she was not only princess of Aragon, but of all Spain. Would it be more correct to say Catherine of Spain ? - --80.28.231.217 (talk) 19:02, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
