King Charles III's sister is visiting Brunswick Place to open the new Citizens Advice Bureau there.
This forms part of her duties as patron of the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux.
She will then be paying a visit to the DP World Shipping Container Terminal on Western Avenue.
This is because she is the patron of Transaid and DP World is one of the charity's supporters.
The visit comes just months after she surprised maternity patients at Southampton General Hospital in February.
The visit was organised by the Royal College of Midwives to mark 42 years since the hospital first opened.
New parents were surprised as they met the Princess in person.
The Princess of Wales also visited Southampton last month to open a new residential community, Hope Street.
