Option 3, Duke's not an idiot and says "lol k" and they just join. 
I don't see a extreme party getting such a huge percent of the vote. Even if they did, I doubt they'd outright remove the duke because surely all the lands that are royal estate would just become his personal property rather than serving the government. At the most they wouldn't try to just "end" the monarchy, but just push it out of political power, making him a ceremonial head of state with no power. Or, if they didn't want to go that far, take a Luxembourg route where the duke still has political power, but that power resides with the nation, and he's simply a vessel for exercising it (assuming they don't already take that route; absolute monarchies are boring).
Really, I don't see why it wouldn't just...join? Or why it has to be "bluh! WBU!" just because it's headed by a duke. I think there is still plenty of potential for story in the back and forth of how it got there, rather than full on coup and dissolution of the state as we know it.
