Prince Harry Apologizes for Dodgers Hat at World Series
Prince Harry has expressed regret for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap while attending Game 4 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The game featured the Toronto Blue Jays, Canada’s only Major League Baseball team.
The Duke of Sussex, who is married to American Meghan Markle and relocated to California in 2020, remains in the line of succession to the British throne and retains ties to Canada’s monarchy. Some viewers felt he should have supported the Blue Jays instead of the Dodgers, given his royal connection to Canada.
“Firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it. There wasn’t much choice,” Prince Harry told CTV News in an exclusive interview.
He explained, “I was invited to the game by the Dodgers’ owner and I thought wearing the Dodgers hat was the polite thing to do.” He also promised it would not happen again.
The apology came during a candid interview with CTV News, where the prince acknowledged the sensitivity surrounding his choice of team attire.
