No, it would be the other way around. The Queen is Sovereign Head of a number of countries and although she is also a Duchess (by virtue of her husband's title), her title as Queen puts her above all other titles including that of the Duchess of Alba. She does not bow to anyone except God.
One level under a queen. The Duke of Windsor had been King of England until he married Mrs Simpson and gave up his throne. She became then the duchess of Windsor. Not a queen. One big impossible jump away from that rank.
