Maybe I missed it but the lead up was that the Queen would make a big announcement that will shock people. Or at least this is what I thought I read. So what was it? She said the humans are doing well then Scarlet showed up.

Is there another announcement somewhere or was the huge announcement scrapped?

It was never meant to happen in the first place.

If you go back to the release page, we find that the official title for it is: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/august-20-2013/

Clockwork Chaos and not Queen’s Speech.

I don’t know whether we’ll find out if the Queen had something big to announce or not.

Hmm okay. Do we know why a Sylvari who is only at most 25 years old hates humans and the Queen so much or is that to be revealed? Sorry in advance of all these are dumb questions, I haven’t been able to play the game for some time and am hoping to get back to it soon but can’t just yet, so I’m relying on the forums for information.

We don’t know why she’s attacking Tyria yet, no.

Also keep in mind she doesn’t just hate humans or the Queen. She was also behind the the Aetherblades attacking Lion’s Arch, and the Molten Alliance attacking the Charr/Norn homelands, or at least involved in it.

Clockwork Chaos and not Queen’s Speech.

I don’t know whether we’ll find out if the Queen had something big to announce or not.

It is still on the Clockwork Chaos page:

The Queen’s Speech – Begins August 20

Don’t miss history in the making as Queen Jennah wraps up her gala Jubilee with a momentous speech to her loyal subjects and visitors.

“with a momentous speech”. I’m still waiting for this momentous speech too.

Unless she is from another tree, she is most 19 years old, since she is not a Firstborn (we know all the Firstborns already). I don’t think she is a Secondborn either, but let’s go with it, since we don’t know all the Secondborns yet.
I’m betting that she is a Soundless that went nuts. I don’t think she is a Courtier.
And, really, I don’t think that she hates anybody. I think that she is just crazy and sadistic. A psychopath. She enjoys seeing other people suffering and shows no remorse.
Maybe she is doing it for the lols, I don’t know really. This is just speculation, we don’t know her motives yet.

Edit: Wait, no. There are still 3 Firstborns that we don’t know. I’m sorry about that, for a second I thought there were just 9 Firstborns.

She works for the White Mantle. They are believed to have strong presence in the Maguuma Wastes (formerly Maguuma Jungles). The Inquest, Aetherblades, Bandits and various other factions work for the White Mantle. The White Mantle in turn work for the Mursaat. The Mursaat are powerful magic users who are so addicted to magic that the rise of the elder dragons is an opportunity they cannot afford to miss. The last time around they, dwarves, jotun, forgotten, and seers banded together to fight the elder dragons.

This time instead of fighting the dragons they want to harvest their magical energies. They are using the Inquest to help research the technology to make this happen. Of course Thaumanova Reactor shows how unstable this research has been. So while the the elder dragons are by nature destructive beings they are what they are. In contrast the Mursaat are actively via proxy seeking research into areas that could destroy Tyria.

That’s quite the theory you have there. Is there anything that gives the theory solid grounding?
