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.
英國廣播公司的一名播報員因為週四發推文論及薩塞克斯公爵伉儷的兒子亞契.哈里遜出生時,貼了一張黑猩猩寶寶的照片而遭開除。
Danny Baker, who until Thursday morning was a broadcaster for BBC’s 5Live, was accused of making fun of Meghan’s mixed-race heritage.
直到週四早上都還是BBC的5Live播報員的丹尼.貝克,被控拿(薩塞克斯公爵夫人)梅根的混血背景開玩笑。
Baker tweeted the offending image shortly after Prince Harry and Meghan presented Baby Archie to the world in his first photocall.
貝克在哈利王子與梅根首度帶著亞契寶寶對外亮相供媒體拍照後不久,推文發表此一令人不悅的照片。
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.
在他已刪除的原始推文上有一張黑白照,照片中有一對男女,其中女子與一隻戴著帽子、身穿外套的小黑猩猩手拉著手。
The caption read: “Royal baby leaves hospital.”
