Did Seven of Nine always know there was a Borg Queen? She never mentioned it before, but in Dark Frontier when she was confronted by the Queen she didn't seem surprised at all.

4How do you know she wasn't surprised? She's not great at expressing emotions, you know... because of the whole growing up as a Borg thing.– DaftJan 26, 2016 at 17:12

She still can express emotions also no questions on who and what the queen is– DarrenJan 26, 2016 at 17:15

Yes
When Seven of Nine was a child (as Annika Hansen), her parents had correctly surmised from first-hand studies of drones that there is a "Queen" in the Borg Collective. They had even told her about it:
ERIN: Three of five, Tertiary adjunct of Unimatrix one.
MAGNUS: I want to keep an eye on this one. Let's tag him. Bring me the subdermal probe, will you?
ANNIKA: Is he special?
MAGNUS: Very special. We think he used to work near the Borg Queen. If he ever goes back there, we'll be able to track him now.
ANNIKA: Does the Queen have a throne?
MAGNUS: Nobody knows.
ERIN: We think she's more like the Queen of an insect colony. She helps coordinate all the other drones.
A little later in the same scene, Magnus says to Erin and Annika:
You two go ahead. I want to read through his cranial transceiver logs, see if he was ever in direct contact with the Queen.
So, Seven of Nine was aware of a Borg Queen even prior to her assimilation.
(These scenes are also from "Dark Frontier".)

@Mithrandir : "also" because the OP's question referred to scenes from this episode.– PraxisFeb 2, 2016 at 15:16
