Prince Harry Apologizes on Canadian TV for Wearing Dodgers Cap, Pledges Blue Jays Support

He says he wore the hat out of politeness to the Dodgers' owner.

Overview

  • In a CTV News interview in Toronto, the Duke of Sussex apologized to Canadians for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap during the World Series.
  • Harry said he was "under duress" because he had been invited by the Dodgers' owner and felt it was courteous to wear the team's cap.
  • Using self‑deprecating humor, he joked that stadium lights and thinning hair prompted him to grab whatever hat was available.
  • He put on a Toronto Blue Jays cap on camera, said he supported the Blue Jays in later games, and pledged to wear their cap going forward.
  • The episode, widely labeled "Hatgate," followed the Dodgers' 4–3 World Series win over the Blue Jays and drew scrutiny given Canada's Commonwealth ties.
