Prince Harry has issued an apology to Canada after being spotted wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap during the team’s World Series clash with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 41-year-old Royal and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex were snapped in LA Dodgers caps at the baseball match last month, and he joked that he wore it “under duress” following an invitation from the Dodgers owner.
Speaking to Canadian broadcaster CTV, Harry said: “Firstly, I would like to apologise to Canada for wearing it. Secondly, I was under duress. There wasn’t much choice.”
The Duke of Sussex – who wore a Blue Jays cap during the interview – made light of the situation, suggesting the Dodgers cap served a practical purpose in concealing his thinning hair.
He said: “When you’re missing a lot of hair on top, and you’re sitting under floodlights, you’ll take any hat that’s available.
“Game five, game six, game seven, I was Blue Jays throughout. Now that I’ve admitted that, it’s going to be pretty hard for me to return back to Los Angeles.”
The Blue Jays ultimately lost to the Dodgers in a seventh-game decider, with Harry emphasising he was “devastated” by the Canadian side’s World Series loss.

Harry has been in Canada for Remembrance Week activities and has penned an essay reflecting on the honour of his UK military service.
The duke – who completed two frontline deployments in Afghanistan – wrote: “Every November the world, for a moment, grows quieter. We pause, together, to remember.
“Remembrance has never been about glorifying war. It’s about recognising its cost: the lives changed forever and the lessons paid for, through unimaginable sacrifice. It’s also about honouring those who, knowing that cost, still choose to serve.”
Harry acknowledged his non-working Royal status in the UK after moving to California with Meghan in 2020, but expressed his pride in the “things that make us British”.

He penned: “Though currently, I may live in the United States, Britain is, and always will be, the country I proudly served and fought for.
“The banter of the mess, the clubhouse, the pub, the stands ridiculous as it sounds, these are the things that make us British. I make no apology for it. I love it.”
