Prince Harry Apologizes for โคDodgers Cap Duringโข Canada Visit
TORONTO – Princeโ Harry โฃpublicly apologized for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers baseballโ cap during โขaโฃ recent visit to Canada, acknowledging โฃthe โgesture โฃwas insensitive given his โคpresence in a country with strong national pride and ahead of โRemembrance Day. โขThe incident, which โoccurred during Game 7 of the world Series – โwon by the Dodgers – drew criticism from some Canadianโฃ fans who felt it disrespected local teams.
speaking atโข a dinnerโ for theโ True โคPatriot โขLove Foundation, aโค charity supporting Canadian veterans, Harry expressed regret for theโค choice. โข”I really regret wearing โa Dodgersโค cap,” he said to applause. โHe explained heโ felt “pressured” toโฃ wear the cap and had hoped Canadians would understand his gesture of courtesy.
The prince and his wife,Meghan Markle,have strong ties to Canada. โคMarkle lived in toronto for years โwhile filming the television show “Suits,” leading many to โconsiderโ her a Canadian resident.โฃ Harry highlighted thisโฃ connection, joking, “I โคhope you can forgive her asโ a native Californian forโค her loyalty to theโค Dodgers, even if it’s just for one night. But all jokes aside, this city has always meant a lot to me-it gave me a wife.”
Harry was in Canada for two days of events โขand meetings leading up to Remembrance Dayโ on Tuesday,โข whichโค honors โคmembers of the armed forces โwho died in the line โขof duty. He assured attendees he โwas rooting for the Toronto Blue Jays โขin the โfinalโค gamesโ of the World Series,though he admitted this could complicate โfuture visits to Los Angeles.
The couple sat in the front row โat โคthe game alongside Dodgers legend Sandy Koufax and Lakersโฃ star Magicโค Johnson, who is a co-owner of the baseball team, having been invited by the team’s โowner. Enrique, a source familiar with the visit, stated the โprince โand duchess reside about an hour west ofโ Los Angeles in Montecito.
