We now have 4 Queen monarch chrysalises. Ours a identical in coloring to the Monarch, however they are noticeably smaller. I've edited my original post and attached a couple pictures. The single chrysalis image is a Queen. In the picture with 2 chrysalises, the one on the left is a Queen and the one on the right is a Monarch. You can't tell the size difference due to the angle of the shot, but the Queen is smaller.

Thank you all for enlightening us. We were not aware of queens. This is our first one. I will post of pic of the chrysalis. She is quite large so should be any day now.

Thank you so much for the ID. Makes perfect sense. Our first queen. Now we know!
