Prince Harry is royally sorry.
The Duke of Sussex shared a heartfelt apology after receiving criticism for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball hat instead of repping the Toronto Blue Jays while attending game three of the 2025 World Series alongside wife Meghan Markle.
As Harry told CTV News in an interview published Nov. 6, “I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it.”
However, the 41-year-old noted that his choice of apparel was somewhat out of his control, considering he attended the Oct. 28 game with Meghan, an L.A. native, and the Dodgers’ primary owner Mark Walter.
“I was under duress,” Harry quipped. “There wasn’t much choice. I was invited to the L.A. Dodgers’ box, or dugout, by the owner himself. So, I was doing what I thought was the polite thing to do.”
And the Spare author also had a more personal reason to cheer on the U.S. over Canada, which some critics argued he should have supported since it’s part of the Commonwealth alongside his native U.K.
“The other piece to this,” he confessed, “was when you’re missing a lot of hair on top and you’re sitting under floodlights, you’ll take any hat that’s available.”
