I always thought that it might be about a man because of the alternate meaning of the word "queen," but on closer listening it seems to me it could be about a medieval scenario or something a little more complex than a straight-forward love song.
The throne thing seems to me like it's just a comment about the fact that he is not the queen's king (i.e. equal), but instead just the consort. Since consorts are non-royal people who marry monarchs, but can't rule with them, they would have smaller thrones and less power than their lover.
I think this song is about being in love with someone who is very special or important, so their lover feels insignificant, but still happy and lucky to have a chance to be with the powerful one. The line "no more to hide" sounds like he wants to be acknowledged by the world as the "queen's" love and know that he/she is not ashamed of the relationship.
Anyway, I really like this song! The tune and the quiet music are so peaceful, and it makes me imagine a gorgeous medieval scenario even if that isn't the point.
