Princess stepped out for heartfelt talks in Liverpool and focused on a cause close to her heart.
During her visit to Speke House on Thursday, home of Launchpad Limited’s veteran accommodation, Princess Anne toured the facility, which offers apartments for up to 50 ex-service members.
She spent time meeting residents and staff and learning first-hand how the charity helps those who once served their country find stability again, before unveiling a plaque to mark the occasion.
One resident, Wayne, spoke candidly about the struggles he faced after leaving the forces and revealed how the support he found there changed everything.
Another veteran, James, shared how life spiraled after his service, battling PTSD and addiction.
At Speke House he found more than just a place to live and something he had been missing, a sense of belonging.
With counselors always available and staff providing constant encouragement, he was able to rebuild his life, get clean and even return to work.
The visit highlighted not only the challenges many veterans face, but the quiet, determined work being done to help them move forward.
Later Anne continued her busy day at Aintree Racecourse and attended the Grand National Charity Luncheon in her role as Patron of Racing Welfare.
