Premise 1: The queen is an impostor, spying on the king for a foreign power.
Premise 2: The party meets her for the first time, and the PC with Empathy critically fails their roll.
Conclusion: The GM gives the players some false information about the queen, unrelated to her being a spy, to send them on a wild goose chase.

So... Does anyone have any good ideas for what the GM might say?

Note: I don't have any plans for using these ideas (the characters in the game I'm GMing have no reason to go see the queen, and none of them have Empathy anyways), it's just meant to be a brainstorming challenge. Both funny and serious GM statements are accepted.
