LONDON — Prince Harry has apologized to Canada after wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap at a World Series game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Harry and his wife, Meghan, were seen in the front row at Game 4 of the series, both sporting bright blue Dodgers headwear. The choice caused some consternation in Canada, a commonwealth country that the couple had called home and whose head of state is Harry’s father, King Charles III.

“Firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it,” the Duke of Sussex told Canadian broadcaster CTV on Thursday. “Secondly, I was under duress. There wasn’t much choice,” he joked.

He later switched to a Blue Jays cap for the rest of the series, showing belated support for the only Canadian team in Major League Baseball.
