Harry, Meghan Draw Backlash, VIP Seat Questions

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended Game 4 of the 2025 World Series at Dodger Stadium wearing matching Los Angeles Dodgers caps, seated in front-row premium seats that were repeatedly captured on TV. Their appearance prompted boos and widespread social-media backlash in Canada, where many fans felt betrayed because Markle lived in Toronto during her Suits years and Harry retains ties to Canada and the Commonwealth. Commentators and fans resurfaced photos of Markle previously wearing Blue Jays gear and suggested the couple’s Dodgers allegiance gave Prince William an opportunity to score PR points by publicly supporting Toronto. Observers also criticized the decision to place the Sussexes ahead of Dodgers icons Magic Johnson and Sandy Koufax, with questions about whether the seats were paid for or VIP placements. The celebrity-heavy crowd — reportedly including Justin Bieber, LeBron James and Brad Pitt — and some fans joking that the couple’s caps 'jinxed' the Dodgers after a 6-2 loss underscored debate over celebrity fandom, national ties and stadium VIP treatment.
