Didn't Prince Harry once go to a fancy dress party dressed as a Nazi officer? Pretty sure he'd find the pic as funny as I did to be honest. Why can't it just be a comical picture?
I saw the pic and honestly wondered what the fuss was about. It was only when I had a read on here that I remembered that hairy primate apparently = dark skinned person so everybody gets offended.
Pretty pathetic in my opinion.

I’d forgot the princess was black(sure hope I’m not offending anyone by saying that) and was wondering why people were upset

Was gonna say the same mate, but simply can’t be arsed these days tbh. I hope Danny Baker takes a stand and finds a way to sue the arse off the BBC for unfair dismissal. |

Do we know what time he posted that picture?
My guess would be after 10pm.

Lol anyone that is upset about this or thinks it’s racist is a moron
He explicitly equated a child with mixed race heritage to a monkey. If he's not being racist he should be sacked anyway - for being stupid. Where did he explicitly do that? You did that, not him, he posted a picture with the caption "Royal baby leaves hospital", so any offensive content is only implicit. He didn't add an explicit note saying he had chosen a monkey as the mother is mixed race. And why if he was been explicitly racist, then why is the mother in the picture not mixed race, or portrayed as a monkey? I accept you can sack him for the post, as it was pretty dumb given some of the criticism Megan Markle has had. |

I think most of us don't see Princess Whatsit as "dark-skinned" or whatever the phrase is, she's just a person to most of us, albeit a Royal one now. Gill follows her avidly, so I get to hear her every move, I even took Gill "Meghan Spotting" to Kensington Palace one day. In all that time, Gill never mentioned Meghan was "dark-skinned" (jeez, have to be so careful) & I never even knew. And I think many of us are like that, who cares what colour she is? |

No, much earlier Ralph. It was before the football. |

I get that some things are blown up and that at times people take offence too easily but if I was black (happens I'm a little bit brown) and I saw that pic and caption I'd find it patently offensive.
If we had a first board director that was black in our company and someone posted a monkey in a business suit alongside a businessman in a monkey suit and welcomed our new director of whatever I'd expect that person to be sacked fairly sharpish.

Yes, agree, he had to go. Still don't think there was an iota of "intent" though, & I don't think he's remotely racist. |
