The Duke of Sussex has apologised to Canada after he and his wife, Meghan, were photographed wearing Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> caps while attending a World Series game against the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

Harry joked to Canadian broadcaster CTV that he wore the Dodgers merchandise \u201cunder duress\u201d during game four of the series, saying it felt like \u201cthe polite thing to do\u201d after being invited to the dugout by the team\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirstly, I would like to apologise to Canada for wearing it,\u201d he said. \u201cSecondly, I was under duress. There wasn\u2019t much choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The duke, who conducted the interview wearing a Blue Jays cap, is in Canada for Remembrance Week events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re missing a lot of hair on top, and you\u2019re sitting under floodlights, you\u2019ll take any hat that\u2019s available,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

\u201cGame five, game six, game seven, I was Blue Jays throughout. Now that I\u2019ve admitted that, it\u2019s going to be pretty hard for me to return back to Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toronto ultimately lost out to the Dodgers in a seventh-game decider<\/a>. The duke added he was \u201cdevastated\u201d at the Blue Jays\u2019 defeat.<\/p>\n

The royal pair moved to Los Angeles in 2020, after initially setting up home in Canada, and live in Montecito with their children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four.<\/p>\n

While Meghan wore a Dodgers cap and team colours during the series, she has previously shown her support for the Blue Jays, a nod to her former home city.<\/p>\n

The former actress lived in Toronto while filming the legal drama Suits, and she and Harry spent time together there during the early stages of their relationship.<\/p>\n

The duchess was photographed wearing a Blue Jays cap while attending a game in 2015.<\/p>\n

During his visit to Canada, Harry met a 101-year-old Canadian Second World War navy veteran and other former servicepeople ahead of Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

The duke was all smiles as he watched veterans taking part in activities such as painting, ceramics and photography at the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre in Toronto.<\/p>\n

He viewed military helmets decorated by veterans to reflect their experiences of service and remembrance, and was pictured lending a hand with one man\u2019s artwork.<\/p>\n

Among those the duke met was Brenda Reid, 101, who served at a women-run naval station in Nova Scotia during the Second World War and Harold Toth, 95, a Korean War veteran who enlisted with the Queen\u2019s Own Rifles.<\/p>\n

When asked by Harry about their war experiences, Reid offered a playful warning about her fellow residents: \u201cYou can\u2019t always believe the boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The meeting was part of his two-day visit to Toronto to meet veterans, members of the armed forces community and military charities to mark the \u201cRemembrancetide\u201d period which spans the two-week period leading up to Remembrance Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Duke of Sussex has apologised to Canada after he and his wife, Meghan, were photographed wearing Los…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-268170","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
