While I'm sure it accorded with her interests, I suspect there was a strong PR motive for her joining the ATS rather than any other branch of service, because it had a particularly bad reputation (on fairly urban mythical grounds) for being sexually immoral, with, allegedly, fathers going to recruiting offices and saying they were not having their daughters called up to the ATS, anything but that. So Princess Lilibet joining up in that particular service sent a Very Strong Message about its impeccable acceptability.
