Prince Harry apologises to Canada for wearing LA Dodgers cap at World Series game

Prince Harry has apologised to Canada for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap as he attended the team's World Series game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The 41-year-old royal and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex were photographed wearing LA Dodgers caps at the baseball game last month and he joked that he did so "under duress" after being invited to the clash by 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."

The Duke of Sussex - who conducted the interview wearing a Blue Jays cap - quipped that the Dodgers headwear was useful for covering up his bald spot.

He said: "When you're missing a lot of hair on top, and you're sitting under floodlights, you'll take any hat that's available.

"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 were ultimately beaten by the Dodgers in a seventh-game decider and Harry stressed that he was "devastated" by the Canadian team's World Series defeat.

Harry has been in Canada for Remembrance Week events and has written an essay about the privilege he got from serving the UK.

The duke - who undertook two frontline tours in Afghanistan - wrote: "Every November the world, for a moment, grows quieter. We pause, together, to remember.

"Remembrance 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 that he is no longer a working royal in the UK after relocating to California with Meghan in 2020, but expressed his pride in the "things that make us British".

He wrote: "Though currently, I may live in the United States, Britain is, and always will be, the country I proudly served and fought for.

"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."
