Hatshepsut had only one daughter from her husband Thutmose II Neferu-Ra. Hatshepsut was elevated to the stature of God’s Wife of Amun, the second-highest position for a woman in ancient Egypt after the Queen.

Hatshepsut was preparing herself to be the pharaoh after her husband died, but after Thutmose II death, the Egyptians rejected the idea of women ruling them as queen, so they made Thutmose III the king, how was only two years old at the time and Hatshepsut ruled as regent to her step-son. Thutmose III was the son of Thutmose II from his minor wife, Isis.
