Twitter users branding the post "racist" due to Meghan's heritage - the Duchess of Sussex's estranged dad Thomas Markle is white and mother Doria Ragland is black.
But today he appeared to backtrack and issued a groveling apology where he claimed the tweet was an attempt "to lampoon privilege & the news cycle" when he selected the image of the chimpanzee.Baker added: "Minutes later I was alerted by followers that this royal baby was of course mixed race and waves of panic and revulsion washed over me."
And he made multiple mentions of Prince Philip at the beginning of the year following his crash, but said yesterday "I'm not the best royal watcher in the world".Admitting he "f***ed up" this morning, he bashfully tweeted his 509,000 followers: "Good morning, everyone. Following one of the worst days of my life I just want to formally apologise for the outrage I caused and explain how I got myself into this mess.
The beginning of his end.
Yep, forget about the daily stabbings in the UK, lets prioritise getting Danny Baker. We need to get this sort of Filth off the street for Good ! LOL
A lot of effort just to get knighthoods for policemen. It's like NOT prosecuting an old fella who drives his Range Rover across a busy road and causes a pile-up.
Knife crime? Robberies? All on hold?
If homophones cab go prison then racist should have twice the sentence
And yet cant find peado gangs operating right in front of them.
This man is a IDIOT deserves sacking nothing normal folk would even think it amusing No Knighthood for you now You lost wage that was considerable You always had loud mouth but surpassed your self this time
What a load of bollocks
as if making yourself unemployable for the rest of your life is not punishment enough.
Pathetic, think there are bigger crimes world is way to PC today where has all the fun gone ? 😎
Oh for gods sake...But muslims can burn the union Jack flag, preach hatred, and hold slogans of soldiers die in the streets and nothing is said or done. Our country is lost now I'm afraid. We the 'White people are the minority, & cant say Jack shite.
What absolute bollocks.
prodnose How do you mean 'probed'... ?
After you sort out this terrible crime perhaps you could take a look at cutting back on knife crime!
If they're going to waste time doing this then surely they should be going after the person that created the image?
Weak people seeking retribution for nothing. If the planet is as doomed as the Costa coffee addicted climate idiots like to claim, hopefully we'll all burn.
I heard he likes be probed
Haven't Coppers got knife crime incidents to investigate?
The Police should be embarrassed to admit they are even wasting 1 second on this. The world has gone mad. They should be concentrating on real crime. Bonkers beyond belief
He already retweeted about the Royal baby before THAT tweet so he's lying that he didn't know about Meghan's baby. Disgusting human being.
Waste of police time. They should be catching real criminals.
Get the moron to jail fast
How moronic 🙄
Meanwhile knife crime increases, bloody pathetic
aye screw the knife crime epidemic. offensive tweets are much bigger problem
Meanwhile KNIFE FCKIN CRIME!!!!
Seriously? Surely they got bigger crimes to solve?
Ffs...nothing else just ffs
Behave.... time to move on...
Good! Jail him!
He made a twat of himself and he is paying the price, Police not needed.
What a complete waste of Police time and money......
Ya shittin me?
Oh for God's sake! 🙄
Danny Baker is a brainless muppet Can the police please focus on rapists, murders, robbers and terrorists instead of dingbats Thanks
Why was it racist ?
Maurizio Sarri?
Shouldn't they be investigating the ever increasing knife crime rates? Never mind, this is definitely higher on the priority list...
Ow please
Investigated?
OMG why don't they do this when 'ethnics' are racist, oh yea it's never classed as racist when they do it, just look how Diane Abbot has been getting away with it for years

Danny Baker speaks out after being sacked by BBC for ‘racist’ royal baby tweet'You never think these things are going to happen to you' Good bye racist What a sad world we live in, he makes one mistake and people want to bury him. Once he realised his error he deleted the tweet, but too late, the PC mob are always on standby looking for someone to lynch. To them an apology is not enough, they lust for 'blood' and never forgive.

'F*** 'em': Danny Baker lashes out at BBC for firing him over Royal Baby tweetThe 61-year-old compared Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor to a chimpanzee. Good on you Danny. If an MP can go to jail & then be let back into the house, why can’t Danny make a mistake also? He was sacked for a stupid (Very stupid) tweet, but by that measure should Prince Harry be sacked as a member of the royal family for turning up to a party in an SS uniform?

BBC sacks Danny Baker over royal baby chimp tweetCorporation says veteran broadcaster’s joke was ‘a serious error of judgment’ How long until they announce Farage is taking over his saturday morning slot on 5live? Danny is thicker than I had ever hoped. Good. If he genuinely thought that was not offensive, which I question, then his lack of awareness means he needs not to be given a national platform.
