Now Sean Penn hits out at Prince William in another attack on Britain
SEAN Penn continued his rampage against Britain last night by accusing it of 'inflaming relations' by sending Prince William to the Falklands.
The actor speaking to the Uruguayan President Jose Mujica in Montevideo said: "It's unthinkable that the United Kingdom can make a conscious decision to deploy a prince within the military to the Malvinas.
"Knowing the great emotional sensitivity both of mothers and fathers in the United Kingdom and in Argentina who lost sons and daughters in a war of islands with a population of so few.
"There are many places to deploy the prince. It's not necessary, when the deployment of a prince is generally accompanied by warships, to send them into the seas of such shared blood."
Prince William is currently deployed in the Falklands as an RAF search and rescue pilot on a six-week tour of duty.

The Argentine Foreign Ministry had previously claimed that Prince William would be coming to the Falklands in the uniform of a "conqueror' just days ahead of his deployment.

Argentine official Sebastian Brugo Marco said the country could not ignore the "political" implications of William's deployment.
"It is one more provocative act that shows Britain's military presence in a zone of peace where there is no armed conflict," he said.
The Hollywood star said he backed Argentina’s claim to the islands following a meeting with the country’s president, Cristina Kirchner, in Buenos Aires.
He urged Britain to negotiate with the South American country in order to find a peaceful solution to the dispute.
In reference to the reaction to his statements, he added: "My oh my, aren't people sensitive to the world colonialism, particularly those who implement colonialism."
