Because of The Falklands and the death of Prince Andrew in conflict
Oh I see. Sorry I missed that in the original read through.
OTL she did negotiate and it was the Argentinian Junta who were intransient for the most part - believeing that the British could not challenge them.
It was one of the reasons that the US Gov ultimately fully backs the UK in that conflict in words, deeds, weapons, equipment and intel (Argentina was an important US ally at the time in the region).
Without having negotiated then I cannot see the US and the UN security council backing the British in the matter and without that backing it would very difficult for Britain to conduct the war as they did - both Politically and Logistically.
However I could see Elizaenth II not caring for the woman as a result regardless....
