Dodgers Fans Furious Over Prince Harry and Meghan’s Front-Row Seats at World Series
Dodgers fans expressed outrage after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received front-row seats at Game 4 of the World Series. Their presence in high-profile seats at Dodger Stadium sparked controversy, especially among loyal fans and baseball legends.
Royal Treatment at Dodger Stadium
At the game held in Los Angeles, Prince Harry and Meghan were seated directly behind the pitch clock. Typically, these premium seats are reserved for sports icons and team owners, heightening the fans’ discontent. Magic Johnson, a Dodgers part-owner, and Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax were relegated to the second row.
Fan Outrage on Social Media
The royal couple’s VIP treatment did not sit well with many longtime Dodgers supporters. Fans took to social media to voice their frustration:
- @DodgersFan87: “Prince Harry and his wife sitting in front of Sandy Koufax? Unreal.”
- @LAblueblood: “Why are they ahead of Magic Johnson? He IS Los Angeles.”
- @user_209: “They need to move. This is disrespectful.”
- @KoufaxForever: “Celebrities over legends sad.”
The Royals’ Presence
The couple arrived dressed in Dodgers gear, sporting blue caps and white shirts. It remains unclear whether they paid for their seats or were given complimentary access as VIP guests. Earlier, MLB had released a video showcasing them smiling and waving to fans as they entered the stadium with a security detail.
Impact on Dodgers’ Legacy
The backlash reflects a broader concern among fans regarding respect for baseball history. The presence of Prince Harry and Meghan at such an event was seen by many as a slight against the team legends who paved the way for the franchise.
Growing Celebrity Influence
Prince Harry and Meghan have been actively engaging with the Los Angeles lifestyle. Despite Meghan’s previous connections with Toronto, where she lived for seven years while filming “Suits,” their allegiance seems firmly placed with the Dodgers. The couple recently shared candid family moments with their children at a local pumpkin patch, but their emerging celebrity status continues to evoke mixed reactions.
Other Celebrities at the Game
The World Series also attracted various celebrities, including James Marsden, Austin Butler, Tobey Maguire, and Sydney Sweeney. However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dominated the broadcast, primarily due to the dissatisfaction of loyal Dodgers fans who feel that the legends should always receive the highest honors at Dodger Stadium.
