{{Dab_page|Queen (disambiguation)}}
The title of '''queen''' was used for a woman who was the head of state in a [[monarchy]]. The title was also used for the spouses of monarchs. Queens were addressed as [[Majesty]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Death of Captain Jack (audio story)}})


The fact that a society was ruled by a Queen sometimes indicated that society was matriarchal in nature (though not always, as in the case of late [[16th century|16th]] and [[20th century]] [[Earth]]).
The [[Twelfth Doctor]] indicated that he might become a [[king]] or queen in the course of his travels. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}}) [[Missy]] once described herself as a "Queen of [[Evil]]". ([[WC]]: {{cs|Who Is The Master? (webcast)}})


"Queen" was also often used to denote the key member and progenitor of insect colonies, potentially leading to confusion when dealing with sentient insectoid races. However the hierarchical nature of many of these species and their cultures effectively makes them monarchies.
