He said: \u201cFirstly, I would like to apologise to Canada for wearing it. Secondly, I was under duress, there wasn\u2019t much choice. I was invited to the box by the [LA Dodgers] owner, so I was doing what I thought was the polite thing to do. But [taking the Toronto Blue Jays hat] I\u2019m going to wear this from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also joked: \u201cWhen you\u2019re missing a lot of hair on top and you\u2019re sitting under lights , you\u2019ll take any hat that\u2019s available. Now that I\u2019ve admitted that, it\u2019s going to be really hard for me to return to Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n
During today\u2019s poignant visit, the Duke of Sussex met a 101-year-old Canadian World War 2 or WW2 navy veteran and other former servicepeople ahead of Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n
Harry 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’s 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’s Own Rifles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When asked by Harry about their war experiences, Ms Reid offered a playful warning about her fellow residents: “You can’t always believe the boys.”<\/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 “Remembrancetide” period which spans the two-week period leading up to Remembrance Sunday.<\/p>\n
It came after Harry expressed his pride at fighting for his country and warned how easy it is for veterans to be forgotten “once the uniform comes off”.<\/p>\n
Harry, who undertook two frontline tours to Afghanistan, spoke in an essay about serving alongside men and women from all four corners of the UK.<\/p>\n
He called on people to remember “not only the fallen, but the living” who carry the “weight of war” and urged them to knock on veterans’ doors and “join them for a cuppa… or a pint” to hear their stories and “remind them their service still matters”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
