London Prince William is set to be posted to the Falkland Islands as a search and rescue pilot, a deployment that would keep the second in line to the British throne apart from his sweetheart for a prolonged period, a news report has said.

The Prince, who holds the rank of Flying Officer in the Royal Air Force, will spend up to three months on the South Atlantic islands when he completes his 18-month RAF Search and Rescue (SAR) course in 2009.

The deployment in the Falklands would mean that the Prince would have to spend a prolonged period of time apart from his girlfriend Kate Middleton, amid continued speculation of an imminent royal engagement.

According to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, details of the Prince's future posting were revealed on the front page of the RAF News, an internal Ministry of Defence publication.
