The Duke of Cambridge has arrived in the Falkland Islands as diplomatic relations between Britain and Argentina reached their lowest point since they went to war in 1982.As Prince William began a six-week tour of duty with his RAF Search & Rescue Squadron, Argentina’s vice-president made a proclamation in which he claimed that his presence was an act of “bravado” to detract attention from Scotland’s bid for independence.
In the past week tensions between Britain and Argentina have risen significantly following the deployment of one of the Royal Navy’s most powerful warships to the area.
Argentina’s foreign ministry has suggested the Duke has arrived as a “conqueror”, while Navy sources have warned Buenos Aires that its entire air force would be wiped out if it tried to attack.
Yesterday Amado Boudou, Argentina’s vice-president, said: “It seems the population is having a bad time and they are trying to cover up that situation with this bravado.“I repeat, I think this has to do with internal political questions which [Britain] has to resolve, very complicated issues which range from high unemployment to the matter of Scottish separatism.
