Prince Harry issued an apology to Canada after his choice of baseball cap at Game 4 of the 2025 World Series stirred mild controversy. During his visit to Toronto for Remembrance Day events, the Duke of Sussex addressed what social media dubbed "hatgate."
While attending the game at Dodger Stadium on October 28 with his wife, Meghan Markle, Harry wore a Los Angeles Dodgers hat. Some Canadian fans were disappointed, suggesting he should have shown support for Toronto’s own team, the Blue Jays, rather than his adopted home team from California.
Amid his engagements in Canada, including a visit to the Veterans Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre on November 6, Harry was asked by a CTV News reporter to comment on the incident.
"Well, firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it."
The Duke laughed off the situation, expressing continued affection for Canada and clarifying that no offense was intended. His lighthearted response helped ease the tension and showed appreciation for both his Commonwealth ties and his new life in the U.S.
Prince Harry humorously apologized to Canadians for sporting a Dodgers hat, reaffirming his fondness for Canada while smoothing over a playful cultural misunderstanding.
