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".)

Why did Queen Elizabeth the first believe that limited monarchy was the ideal government?
She did not. At the time there were already a few charters in force (the Magna Carta being the most important) that had put a few limits on royal powers. But all during Elisabeth's reign, her power was considerable and she much enjoyed exercising it. She did let herself be influenced by seasoned counselors and left the day-to-day running of affairs largely to them. But she could (although she rarely did) dismiss or overrule them at will. Foreign policy was dominated by her; she could throw people in jail without the benefit of lawyers or judges, and regularly did; and she alone decided on war or peace.
