BBC fires radio host Danny Baker for a tweet that depicted the newborn son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who is biracial, as a chimpanzee.
"Once again. Sincere apologies for the stupid unthinking gag pic earlier,'' he wrote."Was supposed to be joke about Royals vs circus animals in posh clothes but interpreted as about monkeys & race, so rightly deleted. Royal watching not my forte."
"Would have used same stupid pic for any other Royal birth or Boris Johnson kid or even one of my own,'' he wrote in another tweet."It's a funny image. Enormous mistake, for sure. Grotesque. Anyway, here's to ya Archie, Sorry mate."It is completely right that Danny Baker has been fired by the BBC over tweeting that the royal baby is chimpanzee.
