With a combination of princess, diplomat and actions from another player, you are able to have 2 queens in the game(atleast).
Your diplomat starts moving your queen back when its captured instantly. Then the other player sends drillers to defeat the queen being transported back. Now your princess turns into a queen and your queen turns captured while still traveling towards your base. When it arrives, you now have 2 queens. Both give the extra amount of shields and have a possibility to hire a specialist. You will still get the same amount of specialist but can decide which queen you get them from. Here's a short video of it in action.
