Japan zoo decides to keep monkey's Charlotte name after much ado

A female baby monkey, named Charlotte after Britain's newborn princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, is shown at the Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden in the southwestern Japanese city of Oita on May 8, 2015. The city, which manages the zoo, said the same day it has decided not to rename the monkey even though the zoo had received more than 300 calls and e-mail messages that protest or criticize its choice of the name, with some denouncing the move as "disrespectful to Britain."
