"Speaking to a military charity on Thursday night, the Duke of Sussex sought to once again address the "blue-hatted elephant in the room." He was referring to his widely ridiculed choice to wear a Los Angeles Dodgers cap at a World Series game in Los Angeles against the Toronto Blue Jays. It was seen as a major snub in Canada, a British Commonwealth nation, where his father, King Charles III, is the head of state. He was blasted on social media in the Great White North."
"Harry apologized for the blunder and tried to put a humorous spin on the incident he referred to as "Hat Gate." "When you're missing a lot of hair on top, and you're sitting under floodlights, you'll take any hat that's available," he joked in an interview with Canadian broadcaster CTV. He then donned a Blue Jays cap that happened to be an arm's length away."
Prince Harry traveled to Toronto for World War I commemorations and faced criticism for wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap at a World Series game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The cap choice was viewed by some Canadians as a snub because his father is head of state. He apologized, nicknamed the episode "Hat Gate," joked about taking any hat when under floodlights and losing hair, and then put on a Blue Jays cap nearby. The couple's front-row seats also upset some Dodgers fans. Harry said he felt "under duress" and had accepted an invitation from the team owner.
