Prince Harry Issues Apology After Backlash
Prince Harry addressed the unexpected criticism he faced after appearing in public wearing an LA Dodgers cap during a recent outing with his wife, Meghan. The couple attended a World Series baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, sparking surprise due to their seeming support of the LA team.
Controversy Over Team Support
Some raised eyebrows because Meghan previously showed support for the Toronto Blue Jays, and Harry's father, King Charles, is the Canadian monarch. The choice to wear Dodgers gear seemed contradictory to these facts.
Apology at Toronto Dinner
At a dinner in Toronto honoring Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, and their families, Harry humorously addressed the situation:
“I’m addressing the ‘blue-hatted elephant in the room’ as I apologize to Canada for wearing the cap.”
He explained he wore the Dodgers cap out of courtesy after being invited to the team’s dugout by the Dodgers' owner.
“I would have even worn a Yankees cap to avoid floodlights shining down on an ever-increasing bald spot. Well, maybe not a Yankees cap.”
Meghan’s Toronto Connection
Meghan lived in Toronto while filming the legal drama Suits and spent time there with Harry during the early days of their relationship. Harry added:
“As for my wife, she lived in Toronto for years and has deep affection for this city, so much so that many people around the world believe she’s Canadian. I think we can forgive a native Californian for her Dodgers loyalty, even if just for one evening.”
Summary
Prince Harry offered a lighthearted apology to Canadians for wearing the Dodgers cap, emphasizing respect for local affection and explaining the polite context of the choice.
Author’s summary: Prince Harry humorously apologized in Toronto for wearing an LA Dodgers cap, explaining it was a polite gesture despite local sensitivities tied to Meghan’s Canadian ties and his family’s monarchy.
