    The title which comes from the crown comes closest to the personal name, such as 'Professor Lord Winston' or 'General Sir Michael Jackson', and the career-related title comes first. Is this what you mean?

    As an example: Doctor, Sir Edward Morrow, Duke Winslow.

    I don't know but I just have to say to the guy above me; Charles and them do not have advanced degrees as far as Doctorates and PhD's, and you can't get a professional title with just any degree.

    Example.

    Dr and Duke Smith?

    Naturally their birth title outranks all, since its by birth. However, since we don't actually LIVE in the middle ages, who cares, let'em call it like they're comfortable with.

    Prince Charles and the rest all have advanced degrees, do you EVER hear them called by them? 'nuff said.
