Prince Harry Apologizes to Canada’s Blue Jays Fans for Wearing LA Dodgers Cap
Britain’s Prince Harry apologized after wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap during Game 4 of the 2025 Major League Baseball World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Duke of Sussex, attending the October 29 game at Dodger Stadium with his wife Meghan Markle, explained the reason behind his choice.
“Firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it,” Harry told Canadian public broadcaster CTV. “Secondly, I was under duress. There wasn’t much choice,” he added jokingly, mentioning the intense floodlights made him eager to wear any hat available.
The couple had been invited by the Dodgers’ owner to watch the game from front-row seats. The gesture stirred criticism in Canada, a Commonwealth country whose titular head of state is King Charles, Harry’s father. Some fans accused the prince of not supporting the Blue Jays, Canada’s only Major League Baseball team.
In the interview, Harry appeared wearing a Blue Jays cap and promised to support the Toronto team “from now on.” He was later seen cheering for the Blue Jays in following games. The Dodgers ultimately won the series in Game 7 on Sunday.
