Prince Harry Apologizes on Canadian TV for Dodgers Cap, Dons Blue Jays Hat

The gesture aimed to ease Canadian sensitivities as the Blue Jays are the lone MLB team from a Commonwealth realm.

Overview

  • He addressed the so-called Hatgate in a CTV interview in Toronto during a visit linked to Remembrance events and veteran outreach.
  • He said he was "under duress" and wore the Dodgers cap out of courtesy after a dugout invitation from the team's owner.
  • He apologized to Canadians and quipped that with thinning hair under bright stadium lights he would grab any available hat.
  • On camera he put on a Toronto Blue Jays cap, pledged to wear it going forward, and said he backed the Jays in Games 5, 6 and 7.
  • The episode drew tabloid and social media criticism over royal symbolism and Commonwealth ties, with Meghan previously sharing a clip cheering the Dodgers' win.
