Very impressed - you really did take great care to ensure that your initial response was "Edited to answer the exam question" since 500N's question did indeed refer to "three" and not "three or more"!
If one takes PN's definition of a "combat veteran" which (with apologies to PN, whose posts I greatly enjoy), I don't, HRH Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, made a very substantial contribution to the war effort whilst her husband was Governor General of Canada.
Incidentally, and moving this thread even further off track, Princess Alice's brother could perhaps also have been considered a royal combat veteran up until his death in early 1954, having been HRH The Duke of Albany until early 1919, but unfortunately he ended up on the wrong side and with the rank of Obergruppenführer ....
