Japan zoo apologises for naming monkey after Royal baby ‘Charlotte'

A zoo in Oita Prefecture has apologised for naming a baby monkey Charlotte after the newborn British princess following complaints from the Japanese public. The zoo was flooded with angry calls and emails, hours after announcing the name for its first born monkey of the year, a tradition at the city-run zoo in southern Japan. The Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden said on Thursday it was considering renaming the macaque.
