Sean Penn has branded Britain 'colonialist' for its refusal to hand over the Falkland Islands to Argentina.
The actor said that the UK was being 'ludicrous and archaic’ by believing it could hold on to what he called ‘the Malvinas Islands of Argentina’.
He added that diplomacy was needed to resolve the issue but that he was firmly on the side of the Argentinians.
Penn's comments could inflame relations between Britain and Argentina just weeks away from the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War on April 2.
Prince William is currently on six-week military deployment there as a helicopter pilot in the face of sabre rattling from the Argentine authorities.
