Prince Harry faced a shocking public backlash in Canada after his recent speech ignited fury among locals—some even resorting to throwing rotten eggs in protest. What started as a well-meaning Remembrance Day address quickly spiraled into chaos as Canadians expressed their outrage over what many called Harry’s “dumbest speech ever.”
The controversy erupted following Harry’s contentious “hatgate” incident, where he wore a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap at a World Series game against the Toronto Blue Jays, leading to accusations of disrespect toward the Canadian team and Commonwealth loyalty. The episode deeply offended Canadian fans who expected their royal family representatives to back local pride.
Still in Toronto for Remembrance events, Harry’s speech was intended to pay tribute to Canadian veterans. However, many in the crowd felt his words missed the mark, with critics calling his remarks tone-deaf and out of touch with Canadian sentiments. The prince’s casual tone and surprising missteps during the speech only fueled the growing discontent.
Eyewitnesses reported that the tension escalated as angry attendees began chanting and throwing rotten eggs in a show of protest. Security quickly intervened, escorting Harry off-stage amid jeers and loud boos.
Social media exploded with videos and memes from the event, branding Harry “tone-deaf” and accusing him of embarrassing the monarchy. Hashtags like #EggGate and #HarryFail trended nationally, with many Canadians demanding a public apology.
Royal commentators suggest this is a sign of Harry’s waning influence and popularity in Commonwealth countries, particularly in Canada, where his attempts to blend royal duties with celebrity culture have often backfired.
Despite the backlash, insiders say Harry remains committed to veteran causes but must now navigate an uphill battle to repair his damaged image in Canada.
The egg-throwing incident marks one of the lowest points for the Duke of Sussex since stepping back from senior royal duties, highlighting the challenge of balancing public expectations with personal freedoms.
As Harry faces this unprecedented rejection, all eyes will be on how he responds and whether he can restore faith among Canadian supporters.
