A Japanese zoo has been forced to apologise for naming a baby
monkey Charlotte after the Royal Princess following floods of
complaints that the name was disrespectful.
According to Mailonline,Mount Takasaki Wild Monkey Park asks
the public to vote for the name of the first Macaque monkey born
every year and announced on Wednesday that it would be named
Charlotte.
It was the most popular choice but the name hadn't received a
single vote before Monday, when the name of the Royal Princess
Charlotte was announced.
Since then, the zoo has since been flooded with complaints that
it's disrespectful to the British Royal Family.A zoo official said:
'The name was publicly solicited and Charlotte suddenly
became the most popular choice with 59 votes out of the
total 853 after the British baby princess's name was
announced.
'There was no vote for 'Charlotte' before the Monday night
announcement.'Since we announced the name we've been
receiving calls and emails from people mostly complaining
that it is rude to British people to give a monkey the same
name as a member of their royal family.
