Christ, as I'm sure you know, is King of Heaven. Therefore, since the angels live in Heaven, Christ is their king. Mary is likewise the Queen of Heaven.

Having the king's mother as queen is something that has been practiced for thousands of years, even occurring in The Bible such as in 1 Kings 15:13, and many places in Jeremiah, including Jeremiah 13:18. This practice began as a result of the multiple wives the kings had. A nation could not have more than one queen, and so the king would have his mother rule at his side.

This practice has continued to a point into modern times in countries such as England. The wife of the king is the actual queen, but the mother is given the title of "queen mother." This would occur when the queen is widowed and so her son comes into power.

However, going back to the times when the mother of the king was made queen as the norm, it would make sense for Christ to make his mother Mary the Queen of Heaven. Therefore, since she is the Queen of Heaven, she has authority over the angels and so is their queen.
