By Karla Adam Karla Adam London correspondent covering the United Kingdom Email Bio Follow May 9 at 8:00 AM LONDON — A BBC radio broadcaster was fired Thursday after posting a picture of a baby chimpanzee when tweeting about the birth of the Duke and Duchesses of Sussex’s son Archie Harrison.
His original tweet, since deleted, showed a black-and-white photo of a couple, with the woman holding hands with a young chimpanzee wearing a hat and a jacket.Baker was swiftly accused of racism on social media. For her part, Meghan, who has an African American mother and white father, has been subjected to racism in Britain from the start of her relationship with Prince Harry. Shortly after the couple started dating, Harry took the highly unusual step of condemning the media coverage for its “racial undertones.”
