Duke is a higher rank than Earl. Dukes can sometimes be royal, the monarch's sons sometimes have titles, like the second son is traditonally the Duke of York. But most dukes are noble, not royal. Earls and barons are not royalty, they are nobility.

Yes, and an earl is also higher than a viscount although strangely there are more earls than there are viscounts.
