Royal faux pas!
When prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle visited the Baseball World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, the sporting events faded into the background – the Englishman had a serious mishap. And that now has consequences. The Duke of Sussex had to apologize to all of Canada.
The 41-year-old made a fashion faux pas. Rather of supporting the Canadian team from Toronto, where Austria’s NBA export Jakob Pöltl also plays basketball for the Raptors, the prince showed up wearing a Dodgers cap. For some Canadians, this was considered lese majeste. The background: Canada is a member of the Commonwealth,the British monarch is also head of state there – and in thier eyes,Harry should have at least appeared neutral. There was a lot of ridicule on social media.
The English monarch took the matter with a dose of humor and made a big apology. “First of all, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it. Second: I was under duress.There wasn’t much to choose from,” the 41-year-old explained in an interview with Canadian television station CTV News.
With a wink, Harry alluded to his bald head. “When your missing a lot of hair on your head and you’re sitting under lights, you wear whatever hat is available,” he explained, trying to put his choice of cap into perspective.In addition, he only wore the hat as a courtesy to the team owner, who invited him and his wife meghan Markle to the game.
