It's because the German word "Philosophie" is feminine that it's called *queen* rather than *king* of the sciences. The word translated as "queen" is *Herrin*, literally "mistress", in the sense of a female master; but translating it as "mistress" would of course be misleading.

Philosophy should be master of the sciences, because, to speak with Heidegger, science does not think. Philosophy itself is not a science, not even the "absolute science". It is something intrinsically different to science.

Nietzsche said psychology should be the queen of the sciences, but not as something intrinsically different, but as one science among others (even as a king is one man among others).

Psychology should be the king of the sciences, according to him, and philosophy should be like their God. This is because philosophy first gives the sciences a purpose

Why is philosophy considered to be a science?

Most scientists and most philosophers would not consider philosophy to be a science. However, both science and philosophy are characterized by very careful thought and analysis and scholarship.

Why study of philosophy of science?

Philosophy is no longer a field of Science at all. Science, specifically Physics, did develop from Philosophy, and other Sciences developed from Physics. This (above) explains the term "PhD" (Doctor of Philosophy) and "Physician". There are many differences between Philosophy and Science. The most important is probably that Science deals exclusively with physical objects (living or not), while Philosophy has a wider area of concern. Also, in Science, questions can (often) be answered by performing an experiment. If everyone agrees that the experiment was designed and done well, the results are accepted as "the correct answer." It is not like that in Philosophy.
