An independent commission of judges select from ‘proposed candidates of merit’ (15 years service) who then tell the King and PM who they want, who then formalise the appointment.

I personally take that with a certain amount of salt, as it helps to have had a certain amount of privilege to get that far - in my personal opinion.
