Prince Harry Apologizes for Dodgers Cap Controversy in Toronto
Prince Harry offered an apology and explanation during a dinner in Toronto honoring Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, and their families after facing criticism for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap at a World Series game last month.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the baseball game between the LA Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, both wearing Dodgers caps and team colors. The choice sparked questions given Meghan's previous support for the Blue Jays and the fact that Harry's father, King Charles, is the monarch of Canada.
Addressing the Controversy
At the Toronto dinner, Harry acknowledged what he called the "blue-hatted elephant in the room" and explained his reasoning. He stated that wearing the Dodgers cap was simply a courteous gesture after receiving an invitation to the dugout from the team's owner.
The prince added a lighthearted touch to his explanation, joking that he would have worn almost any cap to shield his head from the stadium's bright lights. He quipped that he would have:
even worn a Yankees cap
to avoid the floodlights highlighting an "ever-increasing bald spot" — though he quickly added that perhaps not a Yankees cap after all.
Defense of Meghan's Team Choice
Harry also defended his wife's allegiance to the Dodgers, reminding the audience of her strong connection to Toronto. Meghan lived in the city for years while filming the legal drama Suits, and the couple spent significant time there during their early relationship.
He told guests:
As for my wife, she lived in Toronto for years and has deep affection for this city, so much so that many people around the world believe she's Canadian, so I think we can forgive a native Californian for her Dodgers loyalty, even if just for one evening.
Author's Summary: Prince Harry playfully apologized in Toronto for wearing a Dodgers cap at a World Series game, citing courtesy to the team owner and defending Meghan's California roots while acknowledging her Toronto ties.
