Prince Harry's been caught red-handed supporting the L.A. Dodgers ... and now he's apologizing to Canada for his actions.
Check out his hilarious interview with CTV News Thursday -- he addresses his choice to support his new home town's team over the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series, and chalks it up to being "under duress."
He adds ... "I was invited to the L.A. Dodgers box or the dugout by the owner himself. So, I was doing what I thought was the polite thing to do."
Jerry O'Connell didn't give up a game-winning home run or make the final out, but he's taking the blame for the Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss ... and it's all because of an outfit change.
The actor joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and chatted with us about his experience at the Fall Classic ... he went to games in Los Angeles and Toronto, but when he swapped his Dodgers gear for a Jays jersey, Toronto didn't win another game and blew their shot at dethroning the champs.
Jerry says folks noticed Toronto's misfortune with him on the bandwagon ... and he says he's the new version of the "Drake curse." Jerry's wearing it as a badge of honor, though.
The Dodgers may have won the World Series, but the city of Los Angeles nearly lost control Saturday night as rowdy fans flooded the streets, lighting fireworks, climbing cars, and clashing with cops in wild post-game celebrations.
LAPD officers were forced to deploy tear gas and less lethal weapons in parts of downtown L.A. after being struck by bottles and industrial-sized fireworks launched from the crowd. The mayhem erupted shortly after the Dodgers clinched their second straight championship, beating the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7.
Hundreds of fans took over intersections across the city, including Pacoima, Echo Park, and the downtown area ... waving flags, blasting music, and turning streets into spontaneous block parties. Things escalated fast when fans started setting off massive fireworks in the middle of crowds.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champions ... beating the Toronto Blue Jays in dramatic fashion in Game 7!!
The final installment of the series was nothing short of a movie -- the Jays took the lead in the third inning with a three-run homer by Bo Bichette. The Dodgers erased the deficit at the last opportunity ... tying it up at 4-4 to send it to extra innings.
It was Will Smith who came through in the clutch in the 11th ... hitting a one-run dinger to give the reigning champs the 5-4 lead -- which was ultimately enough to seal the victory.
Drake didn't show much mercy after his Blue Jays took control of the World Series with a big victory on Wednesday night ... as he trolled Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers with a pair of gloating social media posts.
The "Nice For What" spitter took to his Instagram page just minutes after Toronto beat L.A., 6-1, at Dodger Stadium ... and he bragged about his favorite MLB team going up 3-2 in the championship series.
In one IG Story post, he shared an image of Ohtani in a sweater vest with the caption, "ONE MORE!!!!!!!" In a second, he threw up a snap of Trey Yesavage striking out L.A.'s best player.
Hollywood stars showed out in droves to support their hometown team in the World Series ... packing Dodger Stadium to cheer on the Blue Crew as they faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling Game 5.
Prince Harry seemed defeated Tuesday night ... as he and his wife, Meghan Markle, were booed as their mugs popped up on the Jumbotron during Game 4 of the World Series.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had expressions that harkened back to the infamous Coldplay couple ... as they cringed as the jeering started. Harry eventually forced a smile, but it was clearly an uncomfortable moment.
The good news ... they had great seat at field level. Sorry Jerry O'Connell, no nosebleeds for them.
Harry dressed sharp in a black blazer over a white T-shirt and dark pants, while Meghan donned dark pants with an oversized white button-up. Of course, they both repped Dodger blue with matching baseball caps.
Their support didn't help though ... Dodgers lost 6-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays, evening the series to 2 games apiece.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle snagged front-row seats to watch Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani take the mound ... both looking locked in as they matched in Dodger caps. As you know, Markle's a native Angeleno.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex weren't the only royals in the building ... with "King James" and his wife, Savannah, also showing up to support the hometown team.
Sydney Sweeney was boots on the ground at Dodger Stadium Tuesday night for game 4 of the World Series, and she had some company ... taking in the action alongside Christy Martin!
Sweeney -- who portrays Martin in the soon-to-be-released biopic, Christy -- shared a selfie of the two from Chavez Ravine, and the women were nothing but smiles as they settled in to watch Shohei Ohtani take the mound.
It's not the first time we've seen the duo together; they hit the red carpet for the premiere of the boxing flick last month. While that was for work ... tonight's appearance shows the two have developed a strong bond.
Freddie Freeman's aunt was with the rest of the family at Dodgers Stadium last night for that epic victory ... but she nearly missed her nephew's heroics!
Carol Freeman -- who was also a fan-favorite on this season of "The Golden Bachelor" -- tells TMZ ... She damn-near missed Freddie’s epic walk-off home run in the 18th inning … ‘cause she was hunting for ice cream at concessions.
She had to book it back to her seat ... but Carol tells us she made it in time to say a little prayer Freddie wouldn't be the final out after the huge battle between the Dodgers and Blue Jays that went until midnight.
Justin Bieber's ticked off, and probably exhausted, after that epic Game 3 of the World Series ... and the native Canadian unloaded his frustration on homerun slugging Shohei Ohtani.
Check out the video ... the Grammy winner gave a thumbs down at LA.'s Dodger Stadium as Ohtani rounded the bases after one of his 2 homers. The Dodgers are, of course, playing against Bieber's beloved Toronto Blue Jays in a duel for the ages.
The "Sorry" singer bravely repped his team while rocking a #57 jersey with his name on the back. The name is just a coincidence, though, as #57 actually belongs to Jays pitcher Shane Bieber -- no relation.
