I beg to differ, one of my ancestors from the 14th century was employed by King Henry VIII to remove queen wasps and their hives from his various stately homes and castles, his legacy was passed down through the generations and I inherited his knowledge and expertise, it is in my blood.
As such, I feel I am perfectly placed to categorically state that the insect in the OP's pictures is definitely a queen wasp.
Modern translation:
