evidence: 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.
