Grimes Interrogated After Accused of Throwing Snowball at Queen Elizabeth

Grimes claims she was once "wrongfully accused" of throwing a snowball at Queen Elizabeth II's vehicle.

In a tweet posted on Wednesday, the singer, 34, real name Claire Boucher, recalled her encounter with the late monarch when she was a teenager.

"Once the queen was gna [sic] drive past my high school on a snow day, and all day the teachers threatened us no snowballs," Grimes wrote.

"As she drove past it was dead silent, all teachers high alert. And just as the procession was almost past, a single snowball arced from the crowd & hit her car.

"Entire crowd erupted into insanity," the Canadian tweeted. "I was wrongfully accused and had to spend many hours in interrogations, still to this day the culprit remains unknown. But it was glorious."

In a third tweet, the mom of two—who shares kids X Æ A-Xii Musk, 2, and Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, 9 months, with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, 51—appeared to link back to an article detailing the incident.

"In 2002, Elizabeth II toured the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and the territory of Nunavut, for her Golden Jubilee," the text read.

In the comments under her first post, a Twitter user asked, "You threw a snowball didn't you?" to which Grimes responded, "No I actually did not throw it funnily enough."

Newsweek reached out to Grimes' representative for additional comment.

Elizabeth died on Thursday, September 8, at the age of 96 after 70 years on the throne.

Buckingham Palace shared the news with the public in a statement that afternoon after her doctors voiced their concern for the monarch's health.

"The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."

The monarch was immediately succeeded by her eldest son, King Charles III, who was later officially proclaimed in a ceremony in London on Saturday.

In his first address to the United Kingdom as their new king, Charles spoke of his mother reuniting with her late husband, Prince Philip, who passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99.

"To my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you," Charles told television viewers. "Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years."

Elizabeth's coffin is lying in state at London's Westminster Hall, following a procession including members of her family from Buckingham Palace. According to the BBC, about 400,000 people are expected to pass through to pay their respects.

Her funeral will be held on Monday at Westminster Abbey in London.
