What happened to the duchess of windsor after the duke of windsor passed away?
The wife of a Duke remains a Duchess for the rest of her life Thus, in the case of Wallace Warfield, she was "Her Highness, the Duchess of Windsor"once she married Edward (the Dukedom having been bestowed upon her husband (formerly King Edward VIII of Great Britain) by the ruling sovereign, his younger brother, George VI). Edward had, by birth, the pre-title "His Royal Highness"; during his brief Kingship, this pre-title was changed to "His Majesty". Upon abdication, King George VI, by Royal prerogative, gave the abdicated King the total title of "His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor" (Windsor has been the name of the Royal House of Great Britain since World War I, when it was changed from the German "Hanover"). When she married him, Wallace Warfield became "Her Highness, the Duchess of Windsor". Only by decree of the ruling sovereign can one be declared (or cease) to be "Royal". So, when she married Edward, the Duke of Windsor, she was thereafter properly addressed as "Her Highness, the Duchess of Windsor", and he as "His Royal Highness, the Duke of York"; and these titles each individually carried to the end of their respective days. Titles in Royalty are basically surnames (or last names). Therefore, when Wallace Warfield married Edward, the Duke of Windsor, she became Wallace, the Duchess of Windsor (or in American terms, he became Edward Windsor, and she was "Wallace Windsor".)
How do you treat royalty?
There are no firm rules for how to treat royalty. At one point the rules for meeting royalty were much stricter. In a more deferential age, one had to bow and curtsey whenever in the royal prescence. Nowadays, it isn't mandatory to bow or curtsey, it is up to you. In speaking to the Queen, you would address her as Your Majesty. And thereafter Ma'am (rhyme with lamb). When meeting female members of the royal family (whether married or unmarried) you would address them as Your Royal Highnessfollowed by Ma'am. When meeting a male member of the royal family you would address them as Your Royal Highness, followed by Sir. Some prefer to wait until spoken to, others initiate the conversation; it is entirely up to you. As in any situation, common courtesy applies.

No, the word duke is a gender noun for a male; the gender noun for a female is duchess.

How do you address a Duke?
The proper address for a Duke, and thus a Duchess, would be 'Your Grace'. Note, however, that while a person may be a Duchess, that might not be the only title they have. As an example, Charles, the Prince of Wales is, among other titles, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Earl of Carrick and Baron of Renfrew. Thus, he can be addressed as Your Highness, Your Grace, My Lord or Your Lordship, all depending on the situation and/or if he WANTS to use a greater title, and the same applies to his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. It is, however, VERY rude to refer to him by a lesser title if the situation doesn't make it clear that one should.
