The Queen instead gave the couple nearby Frogmore Cottage.
A royal source said: “Meghan wanted a wing at Windsor Castle.
“She asked Harry to have a word. But the Queen politely turned down the request.
“The castle will eventually be given to Prince Charles.
“Harry and Meghan were initially delighted with Frogmore Cottage but in the end it was wrong for them and they were isolated from everyone.”
The couple spent £2.5million on renovations to the five-bed home, which is overlooked by Windsor Castle.
The Queen spends weekends at the 1,000-room castle.
And she has remained at Windsor for much of the pandemic, including every day since the beginning of lockdown in December.
It comes as it emerged Meghan may never return to the UK after her bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview angered the Royal Family.

Sources say royals including the Queen were not planning to watch the interview, to be shown here on ITV at 9pm on Monday.
Windsor Castle and Palace staff have dubbed the chat “Moperah” after seeing whingey teasers.
