A lawyer has been suspended from the family law service she founded after mocking black names and the Black Lives Matter movement in tweets about Meghan Markle and Prince Harrys newborn.

Joanna Toch, a former Olympic rower who founded Family Law Cafe in the U.K., made racist jokes on Twitter with another woman, Julie Burchill, about the Duke and Duchess of Sussexs newborn daughters name just after her birth was announced on Sunday.

Harry and Meghan named their baby Lilibet Lili Diana Mountbatten-Windsor to honor both Queen Elizabeth , whose family nickname is Lilibet, and Harrys mother, Princess Diana.

Burchill, a contributor to The Telegraph and The Spectator who goes by @BoozeandFagz online, tweeted that Lilibets new name was a missed opportunity for Harry and Meghan. Referring to the baby as it, she added, They couldve called it Georgina Floydina!

Toch replied to Burchill, No Doria? Dont black names matter?

Doria Ragland is Meghans mother.

Burchill answered that she was hoping for Doria Oprah, the racist rotters.

Toch responded with Doprah?

As the tweets began going viral on Twitter, Toch quickly issued apologies for her joke.

It was a joke and Im sorry if it upset you, she wrote in response to one commenter. She later issued a longer apology and attempted to excuse herself by saying she has children of colour.

I am very sorry for the comment and what I saw as a joke, she said in a tweet, captured in a screengrab. Ive fought during my professional life against racism which is abhorrent. Im not a judge and I have children of colour and I apologize unreservedly.

A Daily Mail profile of Toch from March 2017 says she has two children.

Both Burchill and Tochs Twitter accounts are no longer active.

Tochs workplace later issued a statement on Monday saying that she was suspended.

Family Law Cafe Limited (FLC) has suspended Joanna Toch with immediate effect pending an internal review into her recent comments on Twitter, read a company statement on Twitter.

FLC considers her comments as offensive, unacceptable and highly contradictory to the inclusive matter in which FLC has always and will continue to work with members of all communities in managing the challenges of matrimonial and family disputes.
