"Sorry my gag pic of the little fella in the posh outfit has whipped some up. Never occurred to me because, well, mind not diseased" The irony is, yes, white privilege protects you from "diseased" thoughts. THAT IS THE POINT.https://gu.com/p/be3k5/stw

I don't buy this at all. What was the joke/gag if not racism?

Tbf as tasteless as it was he was probably oblivious as he deleted it and apologized ASAP. I can imagine he would’ve been gutted not having realized how racist that was. I do buy it as I could imagine this happening to a lot of (elderly) people I know who luckily don’t tweet

I disagree. I don't see what else would be the purpose of tweeting a photo of a monkey and joking that it was the baby. Like that interpretation makes no sense to me

I guess he was going for the "cheeky monkey" thing that some people call their kids. My sister calls her kid a cheeky monkey sometimes, howevrr there's a difference between the parents of a child doing it and some random guy, knowing that one of the parents is mixed race too.

He wasn't. He was calling commoners chimps. Maybe read what he said.

“Was supposed to be joke about royals vs circus animals in posh clothes” that’s from the article you shared, he’s not said anything in that about commoners that I can see, although I’m probably wrong.

Their baby by definition is a royal and thus can't be a chimp but is in the photo.
