Edward will outrank William and Harry, regardless if the latter two receive dukedoms or not, as the son of a sovereign outranks a grandson of the sovereign. When Charles is king, his sons will outrank his brothers, regardless of any titles William and Harry do or don't have.
One doesn't have to live in the days of Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I in order to appreciate the climate change that comes with the change of régime! It must be harrowing to be one of the members of the royal family whose fortunes go up and down based on who is sovereign at the moment. And I don't mean only for the obvious people like the Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla). Sister Morphine has pointed out how even benign members of the royal family like Edward (and thus Andrew and Anne) as siblings of the current heir to the throne will lose status as he gains it by becoming sovereign!
