When there is no direct relationship between entities of statements or the case is "doubtful, unsure", the possibilities (can be, cannot be, may be) are true.
When the relationship is explicitly or directly mentioned, the possibility is always false.
When the relationship is explicitly or directly mentioned, the possibility is always false.

Some queens are kings does not mean that all kings are queens, therefore not all kings are beautiful.

If king and queen are in the same group and if SOME kings are Queens, then all Queens must be kings.

Let's assume, SET(A)=KINGS and SET(B)=QUEENS.
As the given statement say's, "some kings are queens[1], all queens are beautiful[2]"
[1] => SUBSET(A)= SUBSET(B). ---- SUBSET(B) can be a SUPER SET(SUBSET(A)) or SUBSET(A).
So all queens have the possibility to be kings.

What it means is, some % all. Since some kings are queens, and all queens are beautiful, only some kings are beautiful, thus I cannot be true. Secondly, since only some kings are queens, logically not all queens can be kings.
