I've got a really rubbish monitor just now so clarity is a problem. Seems too small to be a queen though from what I can make out?

Very hard to see but looks too big to be a soldier IMO.

Why get her out? She's not doing any harm

Just want to see what exactly it is. She can go back in afterwards.

Looking at the photos I'd say 100% it's a queen. I'll try and enhance the photo for you

The photo can't be enhanced very well as it's not the best quality, so just have to wait until she's out the pods
