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."
Drakegoing after Shohei Ohtaniduring the World Series actually backfired HARD ... 'cause Miguel Rojas tells TMZ Sports the locker room definitely took notice of the rapper taking shots at their superstar teammate -- and they didn't like it one bit.
We caught up with the Game 7 hero days after L.A. won the first back-to-back World Series titles since the Yankees did from 1998-2000 ... and you can tell he was not a fan of Drizzy's callout.
"We got this guy right here, we all know who he is, but you don't have to do that, man," Rojas said. "Shohei Ohtani, he's been doing everything and anything for baseball, and that's kind of why Kiké [Hernandez] kind of had his moment there."
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.
1:40 PM PT -- The Dodgers' rally at the stadium was a bit more hype -- with players, staffers, owners and even Ice Cube getting on the mic and getting the folks in attendance going nuts!!
Cube was introduced by manager Dave Roberts ... and he arrived in style. Clayton Kershaw doubled down on his retirement ... saying he'll enjoy L.A. completing the three-peat as a fan next year.
But it was Kiké who stole the show -- holding nothing back as he deemed the Dodgers a dynasty ... while dropping a few dirty words in the process.
Awesome.
The back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers made their way through the streets of Los Angeles to celebrate their epic win over the Toronto Blue Jays ... with players soaking in the victory by partying with fans!!
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and the rest of the gang boarded double-decker buses and rolled through downtown on Monday ... with tons of fans flocking to the route to get a glimpse of the big winners.
Pitcher Blake Snell had a fun interaction with the crowd ... doing the viral 6-7 meme the kids are going crazy about -- before making an incredible catch when someone threw a football in his direction.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are back in Tinseltown ... now as back-to-back World Series champs -- and the party's just getting started!!!
The Blue Crew touched down at LAX Sunday evening after edging out the Toronto Blue Jays in a Game 7 classic ... one many are calling one of the greatest baseball games ever played
World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto triumphantly hoisted the championship trophy as he stepped off the jet ... and with good reason -- after his legendary pitching performance, he's the toast of L.A.
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.
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.
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.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
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.
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.
Game 3 of the World Series clocked in at a whopping six hours and 39 minutes ... and Dodgers and Blue Jays players were doing everything to stay locked in -- including some late-night eats!
Cameras caught both teams being delivered a fruit platter as the game wore on late into the night, and after playing 18 innings of baseball, anything would have hit the spot.
While it's unclear where the fruit came from -- a vendor outside, restaurant supplies from the stadium -- the options were vast ... from watermelon to pineapple ... and even grapes!

The World Series is in full swing. This year, it's the Los Angeles Dodgers not only hoping for a repeat, but representing the U.S.as they face off against Canada's Toronto Blue Jays.
This is only the third time two teams from different countries have clashed in the World Series, with the Blue Jays topping the American League and the Dodgers breezing through the competition in the National League.
With three games over, there's still time to rep your faves -- whether you're Team Shohei Ohtani or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. -- with some new official merch ... check out some options below or more at MLBShop.com.
Justin Bieber is among the stars in the house for Game 3 of the World Series ... and even though it's in Los Angeles ... JB is cheering his native country's Blue Jays.
We got video of Justin entering Dodgers Stadium on Monday night ... and it looked like he was there solo with no Hailey in sight.
JB looked cool AF ... decked out in Toronto gear -- not saying much as he was led into the stadium with security nearby.
It makes sense ... Drake is a Toronto native, and Game 1 is at Rogers Centre -- and the dude totally lost his mind when when they punched their ticket to the Fall Classic, their first since winning back in 1993.
First pitch of the World Series is just hours away ... and Shohei Ohtaniis hoping his dog, Decoy, gives him some good luck -- rocking a letterman jacket with his pooch's face on it!!
Ohtani pulled up to Game 1 in Toronto in style, rocking the tan letterman jacket with tan pants, New Balance shoes and his own custom Beats headphones.

If you're familiar with Dodgers baseball, you know Decoy is a popular figure in the fanbase. The team even had a bobblehead night featuring Ohtani and his dog ... who even got the chance to "throw" out the first pitch!
