As I stated over in the forums, Kate and I play on this one chess set almost daily. There are no extra queens and it's a real drag when you promote a pawn while you still have your original queen in play. You have to find some object to stand in for the second queen. Usually we turn a rook upside down if any are available. Now we don't have to with this extra queen. The one on the left is the original queen, the one on the right is the new one I turned. Now to make one for the white side!
