EVERY inch of the ground floor of Margaret Tyler's North Wembley home contains an item of Royal memorabilia.

There are hundreds of mugs and plates, thousands of books and newspaper clippings, corgi statues, Elizabeth and Philip slippers, and even Camilla and Charles scarecrows.

But the 63-year-old from North Wembley, who proudly confesses to being "Princess Diana's number one fan", wants more - and this time she is aiming high.

Margaret is looking for an artist to paint the Queen of Hearts on the ceiling of her "Diana Room".

The room already contains a stained glass window featuring Princess Diana, a mirror with a representation of Althorp, the Spencer's family home, and a portrait of princes William and Harry with their mother.

"I think what would make it complete would be a picture of Diana on the ceiling," Margaret, a mother-of-four, said.

"I would like to commission an artist who could do a really nice painting of Diana. I'm not expecting anything as elaborate as the Sistine Chapel."

Margaret recently welcomed a coach load of German tourists to her home in The Fairway.

"I put on Candle in the Wind, and we all stood around in the Diana Room," she said. "There wasn't a dry eye in the house, even the men were in tears."

Margaret met Diana at Northwick Park Hospital six weeks before the fatal crash in Paris in August 1997.

She said: "I was wearing a picture of her and she just put her head back and laughed and said You've got it bad haven't you?'.

"She looked so happy."

Margaret hopes the inquest into Diana's death, due to be held later this year, will provide some conclusion to the tragedy.

"I think William and Kate are waiting until after the inquest before they announce their engagement," said Margaret, who attributes her passion for collecting to being an only child.

But with space already at a premium, Margaret will struggle to find the room to start a William and Kate collection - albeit for the time being.

"I would love to buy the house next door and put all my memorabilia in it," she joked. "Or start my own museum."
