Was She born Into Royalty?

Yes, she was the daughter of Thutmose the I. & Queen Ahmose I.  Thutmose I & Ahmose both had a son.   Sadly both died very young.  Thutmose also had a son from a former wife.  That son married his half-sister, Hatshepsut.  Then, Hatshepsuts husband got sick & died.   After his death, Hatshepsut had a daughter, Neferure.  NOW ISN'T THAT CONFUSING!?! To think back then people married their own family members...UMM CAN I SAY EW?!!?
