She did indeed become the Duchess of Windsor: it's just that she was denied the qualification of Royal Highness. Once again, according to English common law, she should have had this: as it was, it took the Letters Patent of 1937 (pushed for by the new Queen Elizabeth) to DENY her that honor.

Surprisingly the only abdicated Dutch monarch to retain the style of Majesty and King was King Willem I who became HM King Willem Frederik of the Netherlands once he signed the act of abdication in 1840. His son became HM the King and his daughter in law became HM the Queen.
