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 Duchess of Sussex’s son, Archie Harrison. Danny Baker, who until Thursday morning was a broadcaster for BBC’s 5Live, was accused of making fun of Meghan’s mixed-race heritage. Baker tweeted the offending image shortly after Prince Harry and Meghan presented Baby Archie to the world in his first photocall. The caption read: “Royal baby leaves hospital.”Baker was swiftly accused of racism on social media. “Now Sky at the door,” he said, referring to the broadcaster Sky News.
