The late Queen reportedly hoped that Prince Harry and Meghan would “respect” the house she gave them after she was forced to “firmly” reject their inappropriate housing request
Windsor Castle has been the home to the Royal Family for almost 1,000 years, with the late Queen and Prince Philip, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson among the most recent residents.
The large estate contains a number of properties, including huge mansions and cosier cottages, which the Queen gifted to her loved ones over the years.
This included the stunning Frogmore Cottage, which she gifted to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following their stunning royal wedding back in 2018. However, according to reports the couple actually requested a different property, but the Queen deemed it “inappropriate” and “firmed” rejected it.
According to The Times, Harry and Meghan wanted to live within the Castle itself and reported asked if “living quarters could be made available after their marriage”. At the time, only the Queen and Philip had private apartments within the actual castle, with everyone else living elsewhere on the estate.
