Princess Anne is in County Fermanagh on her 65th visit to Northern Ireland.
Her first trip to Belfast was in 1961 when she was 10 years old.
On her latest visit, her third this year, the Princess Royal, 75, went to Brooke House Health and Wellbeing Centre near Fivemiletown.
The facility seeks to improve the physical and mental health of serving and retired members of the British armed forces, police, prison and emergency services, and their families and carers.
Princess Anne was shown around a walled garden which is used for therapy purposes as well as to grow flowers and vegetables.
