The Iron King?

Not quite what the OP wanted but what would happen if Wellington lost his wife Kitty to cancer earlier and ended up the third husband of Queen Victoria's mother in 1821.

By all accounts he was a bit of a ladies man on the quiet, his marriage to Kitty being somewhat cool (to say the least). If he did somehow meet and marry Princess Victoria after (future Queen) Victoria's death then he ends up being the guiding figure behind Victorias childhood and her early reign.
 
As a Brit i do know how the system works :p
Obviously George III and the Hanoverian's wouldn't be in a position to defy him, IE not give royal accent etc :p

However if he was to "take over" then i do agree he would have to marry some Hanoverian Princess to make his claim at least "seem" legitimate
