Prince Harry Apologizes to Canada for Donning Dodgers Cap at World Series
Prince Harry recently extended an apology to Canada after wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap during the World Series. This incident garnered attention as he attended Game 4 against the Toronto Blue Jays with his wife, Meghan Markle. Both were seen in the front row sporting Dodgers caps, which raised eyebrows in Canada, a country with strong ties to the royal family.
Prince Harry’s Apology to Canada
Harry addressed the situation during an interview with Canadian broadcaster CTV, stating, “Firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it.” He humorously noted he was under pressure, mentioning that he felt it was “the polite thing to do” after being invited by the team’s owner.
Switching Allegiances
Later in the series, Prince Harry switched to a Blue Jays cap to support the only Canadian team in Major League Baseball. Despite his initial choice, he expressed disappointment over Toronto’s loss in a dramatic Game 7 against the Dodgers.
Connection to Canada
During his visit to Canada for Remembrance Week, Harry met with the country’s oldest veterans and received a Blue Jays hat. Wearing it during the interview, he expressed being “devastated” by the Blue Jays’ defeat, stating, “Game 5, Game 6, Game 7, I was Blue Jays throughout.”
Royals and Canada
Prince Harry’s ties to Canada run deep, as he and Meghan Markle spent considerable time there early in their relationship. Meghan previously lived in Toronto while filming the series “Suits” and has shown support for the Blue Jays in the past.
Since stepping away from royal duties, Harry and Meghan now reside in Montecito with their children, Archie and Lilibet. Despite the recent hat controversy, their connections to Canada remain strong.
