Argentina’s President Criticizes Prince William’s Clothes

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner criticized Prince William’s deployment to the Falkland Islands yesterday. The British heir to the throne is accompanying one of the Royal Navy’s most modern warships and will serve for three months as a military search and rescue pilot.

Kirchner accused Britain of “militarizing” the long-standing dispute over the South Atlantic islands. She said she “would have loved” to see Prince William in “civilian clothes.”

Argentina continues to demand that Britain return the Falklands to its control after it lost dominion over them in 1833. Argentine troops invaded the Falklands in 1982, but were defeated by the British. Britain continues to say that as long as the Falklands inhabitants desire to remain British, they will defend their possession.

Continue to watch events in the South Atlantic. The Trumpet has predicted that Britain will eventually lose control of these islands, as extreme military cutbacks and a troubled economy have left the United Kingdom a shadow of its former empire.
