How could Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington become King of the British Empire?

One idea i had was that the Duke never becomes PM and retires, somehow a number of POD's leads to a worse Great Britain which leads to a Chartist uprising. The iron duke comes out of retirement to fight them.

The Duke makes peace with the Chartists (the royal family killed or fled to Hanover) the Peace includes Catholic Emancipation, and an extended reform bill (which Arthur had warmed to during the revolution, and also because he knew that if he didn't except the war would continue) and the abdication of the royal family.

Parliament then swears the Duke into power as King due to his control of the Army and his Anglo-Irish ancestry to help unite the country, though he has far less power than George III.
