Even if The Queen was stood in front of you, you would not bother curtseying?

I know The Queen is not your Queen, but she is still a Queen. I would curtsey to all the members of the royal family, no matter how they got there.
Someone mentioned that Zara Phillips wanted her "Princess" title (or is it style?!?!) All I know is that if I juxtapose myself into the BRF, I would want my title. Who wouldn't? It gets you in the finest schools, colleges and universities even if you can't cut the academics; keeps you on all the "A" lists, etc. Also, as I love jewelery, I'd have an authentic heraldic signet ring and maybe even a tiara.
What position in the order of precedence had The Duke of Windsor?

As it was stated, when Edward VIII abdicated he lost his status as a Royal prince and a son of a Sovereign, but his status and title was reverted to him by his successor.
But the question is, would he be eligible for a title of an earl if he is 2nd in line to the throne? An earl is a lesser title than that of a Duke, and therefore that would diminish Kate's place in the precedence of the Royal family....it seems logical to me that William would desire a less grand title for now...

Her place in the order of precedence is low anyway, seeing as she's merely the heir's daughter-in-law (soon to be). She'll move up the ladder (I don't mean that in a disparaging way) in due course.
Okay. It seems rather strange to me, but then I'm not royalty.
It isn't really that strange if you think about it from the point of view of a parent. Are parents closer by blood to their children or their grandchildren? That is why the precedence is not the same as the line of succession because precedence is done by personal blood relationship to the monarch whereas line of succession is a lineal descent from the monarch.
