Well Prince Andrew was a co-pilot of a Sea King on HMS Invincible during the Falklands War flying anti-submarine, anti-ship, casualty evacuation, transport and search and air rescue missions, while Prince Harry has done a combat tour in Afghanistan and is a British Army combat pilot flying Apache's. So I doubt they are all that concerned sending Prince William to the Falkland Islands were the worst that is likely to happen to him is being the target of some mild Argentine propaganda from Cristina de Kirchner who should be more concerned with solving her own country's economic problems than stirring up trouble with Britain over a chain of islands that they have no chance of ever controlling.
