British Royal Rankings (is a system of titles of royalty):

Prince/Princess

(Royal) Duke/Duchess*

Royal Duke: A Royal Duke is a duke who is a member of the British Royal Family, entitled to the style of "His Royal Highness".

English Peerage List (is a system of titles of nobility):

Duke/Duchess

Marquess/Marchioness

Earl/Countess

Viscount/Viscountess

Baron/Baroness

Note: A Knight is neither a nobility or royalty title, it is a gentry class.

Answer 3

It depends which monarchy you are talking about:

In Germany:

Emperor

Kings

Grand Dukes

Reigning dukes

Reigning princes

Dukes

Margraves/Landgravse/Count Palatines, etc

Princes

Counts

Barons

France:

King

Princes of the Blood Royal

Princes

Dukes

Marquises

Counts

Viscounts

Barons

etc

In the UK:

Queen

Queen's consort

Prince of Wales

Members of the royal family

Dukes

Marquesses

Earls

Viscounts

Barons

etc

It varies within each system as well as there are differences between reigning, formerly reigning and noble families and also between upper and lower nobility. So really, there is no single rank. What is certain though is that *among sovereigns* (those who actually rule land), the traditional rank is as follows:

Emperors

Kings

Grand Dukes

Dukes

Margraves/landgraves/counts palatine

Princes

Counts

Lords

etc

King/Queen Regent

Queen Consort/Prince Consort (spouses of the regent)

Prince/Princess-- and a royal prince/princess can also wear the following titles as well:

Royal Earl/Countess

RoyalViscount/Viscountess

Royal Baron/Baroness

Then there are the TITLED NON ROYAL PEERS

Duke/Duchess

Marquess/Marchioness

Earl/Countess

Viscount/Viscountess
