Prince Harry has issued a lighthearted apology to Canada after he was seen wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap during the World Series match against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 41-year-old Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, were spotted last month sporting the Dodgers caps at the high-profile baseball event. Harry joked that he wore the cap “under duress” after receiving an invitation to the game from the Dodgers’ owner.
In an interview with 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.” Wearing a Blue Jays cap during the interview, he added humorously that the Dodgers hat helped conceal his receding hairline under bright stadium floodlights.
He explained, “When you’re missing a lot of hair on top, and you’re sitting under floodlights, you’ll take any hat that’s available.” Reflecting on the series, Harry said, “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 fell to the Dodgers in a decisive seventh game, leaving Harry “devastated” by the Canadian team’s loss.
During his visit to Canada for Remembrance Week activities, Harry shared a moving essay about the honor of his 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.”
He emphasized the true meaning of Remembrance: “It 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 since moving to California with Meghan in 2020 but expressed his lasting pride in his British roots. “Though currently, I may live in the United States, Britain is, and always will be, the country I proudly served and fought for,” he wrote.
He fondly recalled the camaraderie of military life and British culture: “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.”
