Scotland Yard says it does not consider that a "criminal threshold has been met" and will be "taking no further action".
Police have dropped an investigation into Danny Baker's "racist" tweet about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's baby.
The veteran broadcaster posted a black and white photo of a man and woman holding hands with a suited chimpanzee after Meghan gave birth last week.
The 61-year-old captioned the tweet: "Royal baby leaves the hospital," prompting accusations of racism.
He was subsequently sacked by BBC Radio 5 Live, while Scotland Yard said the tweet was being "reviewed and assessed by specialist officers".
The Metropolitan Police have now said it does "not consider that a criminal threshold has been met" and no further action will be taken.
A spokesman for the force said: "An allegation was received by the Metropolitan Police Service on Thursday, 9 May in relation to a tweet published on 8 May.
"Having reviewed the comments made, we do not consider that a criminal threshold has been met and as such we will be taking no further action."
