He's wasting his time trying to explain. The hand-wringers have already got too tight a hold on this they'll never let it drop, he is damned for all time.
I thought it was both sad and ridiculous that the front page of a newspaper shared two stories... the birth of the royal baby and the fact that someone posted a poor-taste joke on Twitter.
There is a slither of a chance that he doesn't know anything at all about Meghan nor her heritage because she's not exactly Serena Williams, is she. Some people have no interest at all in the royal family and know nothing about them, did not watch the wedding, don't care whether they had a baby or not.
I don't know anything about Danny Baker. I'm neither a fan nor a hater, but I think the pitchforks can go away now.
