Prince Harry Apologizes to Canada After Wearing Dodgers Hat
Prince Harry issued an apology to Canadians after drawing criticism for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat during Game 4 of the 2025 World Series. The Duke of Sussex, 41, attended the match at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles with his wife, Meghan Markle, on October 28.
The choice of headwear upset some Canadian fans, who felt he should have supported the Toronto Blue Jays instead, given Canada's strong baseball presence and his ties to the Commonwealth.
Apology in Toronto
While in Toronto for Remembrance Day events on November 6, Harry addressed the uproar, often dubbed "hatgate," during an interview with CTV News.
"Is there anything you would like to say about wearing that L.A. Dodgers hat last week and getting into hot water?"
Smiling, the Duke replied:
"Well, firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it."
He made the remarks during a visit to the Veterans Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, using the moment to express humor and fondness toward Canada despite the lighthearted controversy.
