Prince Harry Apologizes for Dodgers Cap, Switches to Blue Jays on Canadian TV

His on-air mea culpa used humor plus a Blue Jays cap to ease concerns over royal symbolism in Canada.

Overview

  • Speaking to CTV in Toronto during a Remembrance Day visit, Harry apologized to Canadians for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap at the World Series.
  • He said he accepted an invitation to the Dodgers’ team box from the owner and wore the cap out of courtesy, saying he felt he had little choice.
  • Harry lightened the exchange by joking that with thinning hair under bright lights he would take any hat available.
  • On camera he donned a Toronto Blue Jays cap, pledged to wear it going forward, and said he supported the Blue Jays in later games.
  • The episode, dubbed “Hatgate,” began after photos of Harry and Meghan in Dodgers caps at Game 4; Meghan later shared a playful clip celebrating the Dodgers’ title as Harry appeared to play up his Toronto sympathies.
