Does Prince William have to bow to Camilla now?

There’s a pecking order of who bows or curtsies to whom. Prob Harry does since he’s not even titled anymore. But I hope at least William doesn’t have to bow to the homewrecker turned Queen consort. Does he outrank her since he is in direct royal succession?

Homewrecker?
There was more to it than that.
Camilla was always Charles's first and great love.

Due to the laws at the time, he had to marry a virgin and could not marry a divorcee.
Charles's uncle, the Earl Mountbatten, found Lady Diana, the only virgin of age among the aristocracy of England. He arranged the meeting and obliged Charles to court and marry her. Charles felt no attraction to or liking for her. The courtship was a pretence - the seduction of a guileless innocent.
Diana was in many ways abused.
Discovering the truth, and coming to terms with it, led to her release from the marriage and her discovery of life a purpose in campaigning on behalf of the victims of wars.

The changes to the laws of marriage for the monarch meant Charles was finally able to marry the one person who had always been his best match.
Henry VIII created the Church of England precisely so he could marry whom he pleased. He did it like a tyrant and for all the wrong reasons - but how could be have known that his low fertility was his fault? The medics of the time had no understanding of such specialties.
We can be thankful that at least now some degree of basic civility and kindness can contribute to the marriages of English royals (as has been the case for scores of years in other European monarchies.
