There is a Queens building at Heathrow Airport, that overlooks the airfield. There is a Queen Mary Hotel near Londons Heathrow, in Europe the term Queen can mean anything from a noble, to the other spelling which is pronounced the same (quean) however this spelling means a prostitute. When you put Queening with Heathrow and that Custom officers use or used the term, I would take it as a disparaging remark. Example: She deserves a Queening. Which could mean to deserve to be a Queen but much more likely they were making a remark about someone acting holier then thou (above everyone). More information would be great. How was the term used exactly?
