Prince Harry Apologizes to Canada Over Dodgers Hat Incident
Prince Harry faced criticism after wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap during the World Series game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The event took place on October 28 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. His choice sparked backlash, as the Blue Jays are the only Canadian team in Major League Baseball (MLB), and many expected him to show support for Canada.
The Duke of Sussex, accompanied by his wife Meghan Markle, addressed the controversy in a light-hearted manner. In an interview with CTV News on November 6, Harry offered an apology and explained his situation.
"Firstly, I would like to apologise to Canada for wearing it," he said. Harry added that he was "under duress" during the game.
Harry further explained that his options were limited since he was invited into the Los Angeles Dodgers box or dugout by the team owner himself, leaving him "not much choice."
His father, King Charles, is the head of state of Canada and 13 other Commonwealth realms, adding a layer of expectation regarding Harry's support for a Commonwealth nation's team.
Public Reaction
- Several fans criticized Harry for not supporting the Toronto Blue Jays.
- Some highlighted the significance of his father's role as Canada's head of state.
Summary
Prince Harry apologized for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat at a World Series game, citing limited options and joking he was "under duress," while acknowledging the backlash from Canadian fans.
