Apology and Humor from Prince Harry
During an interview with CTV News, Harry stated he felt “under duress” when he donned the Dodgers cap. He explained, “There wasn’t much choice. I was invited to the Dodgers dugout by the owner.” The prince attended Game 4 of the World Series on October 28, where the Blue Jays evened the series.

Harry joked about his choice of headwear, saying, “When you’re missing a lot of hair on top, and you’re sitting under floodlights, you’ll take any hat that’s available.” In a nod to his misstep, he later wore a Blue Jays cap, emphasizing his support by stating, “Game 5, Game 6, Game 7, I was Blue Jays throughout.”
Connections to Canada
Harry’s ties to Canada remain strong. Although he is no longer a working royal, his dedication to the country persists. The prince dubbed the incident “Hat-Gate” due to the online discussions it sparked, particularly on platforms like Reddit.
During his visit to Toronto, Harry met with veterans in preparation for Remembrance Day, which falls on November 11. He also attended a military event, where he humorously referenced the “blue-hatted elephant in the room” regarding his Dodgers cap.
Personal Ties to Toronto
Harry expressed his affection for Toronto, stating, “This city will always mean a great deal to me.” His wife, Meghan, lived in the city for seven years while filming the show “Suits.” The couple also has a history with Canada, including residing on Vancouver Island briefly in 2020.
As they now settle in Montecito, California, Harry maintains connections to both the Dodgers and the Blue Jays, reflecting his blended ties to both countries.
