Prince Harry has apologised to Canada for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap while attending a World Series game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan, were pictured at the baseball game last Tuesday, which Toronto ultimately lost to the Dodgers in a seventh-game decider on Sunday.
The prince joked to Canadian broadcaster CTV that he wore the Dodgers merchandise “under duress”.
He said it felt like “the polite thing to do” after being invited to the dugout by the team’s owner.
“Firstly, I would like to apologise to Canada for wearing it,” he said.
“Secondly, I was under duress. There wasn’t much choice.”
“When you’re missing a lot of hair on top, and you’re sitting under floodlights, you’ll take any hat that’s available,” he joked.
“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.”
Harry, who is in Canada for Remembrance Week events, conducted the interview wearing a Toronto Blue Jays cap.
He added he was “devastated” at the Blue Jays’ defeat.
