The British broadcaste­r and comedy writer who hosted a weekend radio show on the BBC’s 5 Live channel was fired by the network for a tweet depicting Archie, the newborn son of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry, as a monkey.

Duchess Meghan is biracial, and the post was swiftly criticized on social media.
