What was Hatshepsut’s family like?

Hatshepsut was born to Thutmose I and his consort Ahmose. She married her half brother, Thutmose II, and had a daughter, Neferure. After her half-brother’s death the throne later passed to Hatshepsut’s nephew and step-son, Thutmose III, who was born to a lesser harem queen. Hatshepsut acted as regent and then coruler.
