Her reputation is also coupled with her advocacy for causes out of the mainstream, such as Wetwheels Foundation’s commitment to accessible sailing and the National Lighthouse Museum. On her 60th and 70th birthdays, the BBC and Vanity Fair both asked whether she would retire, and she denied it both times, citing her parents’ example as well as her commitment to her royal duties.
