The 29-year-old, second in line to the throne, was sent to the South Atlantic archipelago as a military search and rescue helicopter pilot. It was a routine part of his Royal Air Force (RAF) duties, but his near seven-week stint angered Argentina.
"He has returned from a standard operational deployment," a Ministry of Defence spokesman told AFP.
"He will now be on leave for a few days and then he will return to work."
Britain has held the Falklands since 1833 but Buenos Aires claims they are occupied Argentinian territory and condemned the prince's tour as a "provocation".
William's deployment added to the escalating tensions ahead of this year's 30th anniversary of the war between Britain and Argentina over the islands.
On April 2, 1982, the then-ruling junta in Argentina invaded the Falklands, sparking a 74-day war with Britain which cost the lives of 649 Argentine and 255 British troops.
Flight Lt. Wales, as he is known in the RAF, was sent to the Falklands in February for a routine tour of duty, although nearby Argentina fumed and called him a "conquistador." Argentina claims the islands they call Las Malvinas, despite losing a short but nasty war with Britain 30 years ago.
Not many details on what exactly he did down there, some 8,000 miles from Britain. But pictures released by the Ministry of Defence said he flew a Sea King chopper and his team's duties included assisting shipping around the islands, mountain rescue, and providing cover for other aircraft based on the islands.
Meanwhile, his wife, the former Kate Middleton, launched into her new royal role as a charity patron, making her first solo appearances, giving her first speech, and accompanying her grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, at Diamond Jubilee engagements.
