Prince Harry on recently apologized to Canada for sporting a Los Angeles Dodgers cap while at a World Series game, where the Dodgers were playing against the Toronto Blue Jays via The Hill.
“Firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it,” Harry told Canadian broadcaster CTV, referring to the scandal as “hatgate.”
“Secondly, I was under duress,” he said jokingly.
“There wasn’t much choice. I was invited to the L.A. Dodgers box, or the dugout, by the owner himself, so I thought I was doing the polite thing to do.”
After wearing a Blue Jays hat during the interview, he explained that because he is “missing a lot of hair on top,” he also wore the Dodgers cap to cover his head while “under the flood lights.”
“You’ll take any hat that’s available,” he said with a smile.
“So Game 5, Game 6, Game 7, I was Blue Jays throughout. Now that I’ve admitted that, it’s going to be pretty hard for me to return back to Los Angeles. But now I’m very sorry to the Canadian public.”
Harry used to live in Canada, which shares the same monarch, King Charles III.
In Game 7 of the World Series last week, the Dodgers trailed the Blue Jays for most of the game but managed to secure a 5-4 victory after 11 innings. This win marked the Dodgers’ second consecutive World Series title, making them the first team to win back-to-back championships since the New York Yankees achieved three straight victories from 1998 to 2000.
“Devastated that the Blue Jays lost, but go Jays,” Harry added.
