So maybe some of the Brits can fill in an American ignorant of how all the title stuff works.

The way I read it in the papers here in the States, the Queen gave the title of "Duke and Duchess of Cambridge" to them.
So, do they like rule, govern, etc. over the area around Cambridge or is it more or less a title?
Was there a Duke and/or Duchess of Cambridge prior to all of this and now they are unemployed?
Why aren't they Prince and Princess? Is't Duke and Duchess a "demotion"?

My wife was asking and I haven't got a clue.

Oh, by the way, Catherine's sister is pretty hot too. Somebody needs to scoop her up as well.
