Princess Anne is the patron of Peel Cathedral's development appeal.
The Princess Royal has arrived on the Isle of Man to attend a Service of Thanksgiving at Peel Cathedral.
Princess Anne is patron of the cathedral's £10m development appeal, which aims to transform the site into a new national cultural venue by 2018.
She last came to the island in 2014 when she visited Jurby prison and opened an equestrian centre in Santon.
The cathedral was consecrated in 1980, having been formally called the parish church of German since 1879.
She arrived by helicopter at Noble's Park in Douglas at 11:00 BST
It now serves as the Cathedral for the Church of England diocese of Sodor and Man, which covers the whole island.
The Princess Royal has agreed to be patron until 2018.
The campaign has already seen work undertaken to repoint walls, repair windows and landscape the grounds.
She arrived by helicopter at Noble's Park in Douglas at 11:00 BST and will visit an aerospace company in Onchan afterwards.
On her last visit in 2014 the princess opened a Manx equestrian centre
