Prince Harry Has Broken His Silence on His “Hat-Gate” Blunder During the World Series

Prince Harry Breaks His Silence on the “Hat-Gate” Incident

Prince Harry recently addressed the lighthearted controversy surrounding his World Series appearance during an interview with a Canadian TV network. The Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle attended Game 4 of the MLB World Series on October 28 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where they wore blue team caps—those of the Dodgers—while the team was playing against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Harry’s Explanation

Following the event, Prince Harry traveled to Toronto on November 6 to meet with veterans in advance of Remembrance Day. While in Canada, he humorously cleared up the misunderstanding surrounding what he called “Hat-Gate.”

“I was under duress,” Harry told CTV News. “I was invited to the Dodgers dugout by the owner. I thought I was just being polite.”

He then made a self-deprecating joke about his baldness, adding:

“When you’re missing a lot of hair on top and sitting under bright lights, you’ll take any hat that’s available.”

Maintaining the same playful tone, Harry admitted his newfound fandom:

“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 to Los Angeles.”

Connection to Canada

Harry and Meghan have lived for some time in Montecito, California, but they share a deep connection with Toronto. Meghan spent over six years in the city during the filming of the series Suits, and the couple co-hosted the Invictus Games there in 2017.
