Prince Harry Apologizes to Canada for Wearing L.A. Dodgers Hat at World Series
Prince Harry faced criticism after wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat during Game 4 of the 2025 World Series on October 28. The Duke of Sussex attended the game with his wife, Meghan Markle, but many Canadian fans expected him to support the Toronto Blue Jays, Canada's own baseball team.
The backlash focused on the sentiment that Harry should have backed a team from a Commonwealth country rather than representing his current home in California.
Apology During Remembrance Day Events
While in Toronto on November 6 for Remembrance Day ceremonies, the prince addressed the controversy. Amid a busy schedule that included a visit to the Veterans Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, he took a moment to clear the air.
"Is there anything you would like to say about wearing that L.A. Dodgers hat last week and getting into hot water?" asked CTV News.
"Well, firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it," Harry responded.
He added that he was "under duress" when wearing the hat, trying to add some humor to the situation, while reaffirming his affection for Canada.
