Days after he donned a Dodgers hat during the World Series, Canadians were in no mood to read the news that Prince Harry was planning a visit to Toronto.
CTV News reported that Harry would be in Toronto this week, with his office confirming that he'd be arriving on Wednesday for 'a series of events to support the Canadian Armed Forces and veteran community.'
However, after he supported the Dodgers over the Blue Jays during the Fall Classic, many Canadians weren't thrilled by the news of his upcoming visit.
'Will he be wearing his LA Dodgers hat?,' one wrote under a post from CP24.
'A week late,' a second said.
'Who really cares? Stop giving free publicity to an extremely wealthy, extremely privileged, extremely spoiled, narcissist, who was disloyal to his own father, who just happens to be the King of Canada,' a third raged.

And a fourth said: 'He's a Dodger fan. Stay away! I don't think he's realizes how deep our feelings are for the Blue Jays! I did like him. My feelings have changed.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, who are now residents of LA, left many Canadians far from impressed when they donned Dodgers hats during the World Series last week.
Both have connections to Toronto that made that decisions surprising.
Markle lived in Toronto while filming the TV show that made her famous - Suits - spending seven years there and regularly talking up her relationship with the city.
'It is like my home,' she told Best Health magazine in 2015. 'At the onset, I didn’t know what to expect, but everyone has been so welcoming.
Some fans were also angered that the pair were sat in front of Sandy Koufax, circled left, and Magic Johnson, circled right
Harry, meanwhile, trained with Canadian forces during his time in the military, and Canada is part of the Commonwealth, once under British rule.
There are 56 countries in the Commonwealth, with 14 that still recognize Harry's father - King Charles - as their head of state, including Canada.
The couple also incurred the wrath of Dodgers fans, as they were seated in the front row ahead of sporting legends Magic Johnson and Sandy Koufax.
The pair were relegated to sitting in the second row behind the couple, while the couple sat in the front row right behind the pitch clock.
It is unclear whether they paid for the seats, or were invited as VIPs by the team.
Ultimately, it was the Dodgers who won the World Series, as they bested the Blue Jays in an epic Game 7 to repeat as back-to-back champions.
