Could this be the moment that started it all? 

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have been plagued by feud rumours since it was reported that the Duchess of Cambridge fled a dress fitting in tears prior to Prince Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding. 

WATCH: The royal family could have ‘killed the rumours quickly’

According to a new UK report, the source of all the drama actually dates back to January 2017, when the Duchess of Sussex gifted her future sister-in-law an, interesting, birthday present. 

According to Express.co.uk, the former Hollywood actress presented Kate with a leather-bound dream journal for her birthday, and the gift did not go down well for a very interesting reason.

In the podcast In the Limelight, Vanity Fair writers Josh Duboff and Julie Miller explained how the present was viewed as “dull” by Prince William and his wife. 

“The only way [the gift] could be more dull is if she had to document other people’s dreams, because there’s nothing on Earth more boring than them.”

Shedding more light on the doomed present, royal commentator Martha Ross revealed that Meghan – a vegan eating yogi – just assumed the mother of three would share the same interests as she. 

“Markle seems to assume that Middleton cares about wanting a better understanding of her emotions, stresses, victories and mental well-being,” Ross revealed. 

“But what if Middleton isn’t an inner-search kind of gal? Maybe she’s fine with life as it is. And, why should any of us think otherwise?”

Ms Ross continued: “She’s married to a man who clearly adores her, and he is going to be King of England one day. She also has three adorable children, great clothes and hair, and lives in a Palace.

“What is there for her to ‘dream’ about? What is there to ‘stress’ about?”
