BBC radio presenter fired at royal racist baby

On Wednesday, the presenter of BBC Radio 5 Live tweeted a black and white photo of a man and a woman holding in his hand a chimpanzee dressed in a suit and a hat top hat, with the caption "Royal baby leaves the hospital."

In the midst of widespread accusations of racism, Baker removed the tweet and said he was sorry that the "gag" had "stoked some". He claimed that the connotations had not come to him in the mind because his "mind (is not) sick."

In a second message, Baker said the tweet was "supposed to be a joke about Royals vs. circus animals dressed in chic clothes but interpreted as monkeys and breeds, so rightly deleted." Royal does not look at my fort. On Thursday, the broadcaster said that he had made a "huge mistake".

A spokesman for the BBC said: "It was a serious misjudgment that goes against the values ​​we want to play as a station – Danny is a brilliant broadcaster but will not be presenting a weekly show with we".

Baker reacts with challenge to the decision, saying on Twitter that the calls for his dismissal were a "masterclass in pompous gravity" and that the BBC "literally threw me under the bus".

Prince Harry and Meghan's newborn, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, was born early Monday morning. On Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced the baby, their first, to the world in front of selected media.

An important milestone for British society, the newborn made history by becoming the first biracial child of the royal family.

Since the announcement of her pregnancy, Meghan is the target of racist abuse on social media.

In March, Kensington Palace staff announced that it would devote more resources to removing comments targeting the Duchess of Sussex and blocking abusive Twitter and Instagram accounts. The Royal Family has also released a set of guidelines for people engaging on its social media channels.
