Claim: Queen Elizabeth II was found guilty in connection to the disappearance of 10 Canadian children. (Viral story, 2020-04-15)
Evidence (2022-09-09): Since at least 2013, readers have been asking Snopes about a rumor that to some may have sounded outlandish. Did Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, visit Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, Canada, in 1964 and abduct 10 indigenous children? [...] The day she got to the school, I was part of a group of kids that went on a picnic with the Queen and her husband and school officials, down to a meadow near Dead Man's Creek. After awhile, I saw the Queen leave that picnic with ten children from the school, and those children never returned. We never heard anything more about them and never saw them again even when we were older. They were all from around there but they all vanished. [...] We found no evidence Elizabeth II ever visited the school, let alone in the manner stated by Combes. The Queen visited the city of Kamloops twice — once in 1959 and once after the school's 1977 closure, in 1983. But we found no evidence that the royals took Kamloops school children on a picnic from which 10 of the children were abducted.

Evidence (2023-07-21): The false claim, as if Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were found guilty of the kidnapping-disappearance of 10 Indian children from a boarding school in the Canadian city of Kamloops was also spread in 2021 and 2022. Then these claims were verified by the American fact-checking agency PolitiFact and the British service FullFact. The claims argued that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s arrest warrant was issued by the "General International Court of Justice in Brussels" and the British royal family was found guilty of kidnapping 10 children while visiting a boarding school in Kamloops in 1964. First of all, it should be noted that in 1964, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip did not visit the Kamloops boarding school or any other boarding school in Canada. In addition, the "Brussels International Court of Common Law" is also a fictional body of Kevin Annett and has no legal jurisdiction. Accusing the British royal family of child abduction is another conspiracy theory by Annett.
