Prince Harry Addresses "Hat-Gate" During World Series
Prince Harry recently spoke out to clarify a mild controversy from the MLB World Series. On October 28, he and Meghan Markle attended Game 4 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where they wore caps supporting the Dodgers, the opposing team of the Toronto Blue Jays.
On November 6, during a visit to Toronto ahead of Remembrance Day, Harry explained the situation in an interview with CTV News, humorously calling it "Hat-Gate."
“I was under duress,” Harry said. “I was invited to the Dodgers dugout by the owner. I was doing what I thought was the polite thing to do.”
He added a lighthearted comment while placing a Blue Jays cap on his head:
“When you’re missing a lot of hair on top, and you’re sitting under floodlights, you’ll take any hat that’s available.”
Harry also revealed his allegiance shifted back to the Blue Jays for the remainder of the series.
“Game 5, Game 6, Game 7, 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 and Meghan's Connection to Toronto
Though Harry and Meghan have been residing in Montecito, California, they maintain strong ties to Toronto, where Meghan lived for over six years while filming the TV series Suits. They also hosted the Invictus Games in Toronto in 2017.
Summary
Prince Harry playfully addressed his World Series cap choice, showing loyalty to the Blue Jays despite wearing Dodgers merch under pressure, highlighting his ongoing connection to Toronto.
