Prince Harry Addresses "Hat-Gate" Incident at World Series
Prince Harry recently spoke out about a lighthearted controversy during an interview with Canadian television. After attending Game 4 of the MLB World Series on October 28 with his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex humorously defended their choice of headwear amid the rivalry.
Wearing Opposing Team's Merchandise
At Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Harry and Meghan wore the Dodgers' iconic blue caps while the team played against the Toronto Blue Jays. This choice sparked some playful chatter, especially given Meghan’s connection to Toronto, where she lived for over six years.
Clarification from Toronto
On November 6, while visiting Toronto to meet veterans ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11, Harry addressed the “Hat-Gate” episode. Speaking with CTV News, he said:
“I was under duress. I was invited to the Dodgers dugout by the owner. I was doing what I thought was the polite thing to do.”
He added humor about his choice of hats:
“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 true team loyalty as the series progressed:
“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.”
Connections to Toronto
- Meghan Markle lived in Toronto for over six years while filming the TV show Suits.
- Harry and Meghan hosted the Invictus Games in Toronto in 2017.
Though the couple has been residing in Montecito for some time, these ties maintain their connection to Toronto’s community and culture.
