Argentina thinks William’s posting is ‘provocative act'
The Duke of Cambridge's posting to the Falkland Islands has been condemned by Argentina as a "provocative act", the BBC reports.
Britain says Prince William's deployment for training as a helicopter rescue pilot is routine.
But Argentine official Sebastian Brugo Marco said Argentina could not ignore the "political content" of the mission.
The prince's tour next year will come shortly before the 30th anniversary of Argentina's defeat in the Falklands War.
Argentina still claims sovereignty over the islands, which it calls Las Malvinas, the BBC says.
