Prince Harry Apologizes to Canadians for Wearing Dodgers Cap
Prince Harry went to a baseball game and wore a hat from one of the teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This upset some people in Canada because the other team playing was the Toronto Blue Jays, Canada's only baseball team.
They thought he wasn't supporting Canada.
Prince Harry later said he was very sorry for wearing the Dodgers hat.
He explained he was invited by the owner of the Dodgers and made a joke that he took the hat because he was sitting under bright lights.
He also reminded people that his wife, Meghan, used to live in Toronto for a long time.
He visited Canada for events to remember soldiers and said he loves the country and that it gave him his wife.
Prince Harry apologized to Canadians for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat at a World Series game.
The choice was seen as a snub in Canada, particularly as the opposing team was the Toronto Blue Jays.
Harry joked that he was 'under duress' and accepted the hat due to the team owner's invitation and practical reasons like heat.
He stated his affection for Canada and mentioned his wife, Meghan, lived in Toronto for years.
Harry was in Canada for events related to Remembrance Day.
