Her parents are unknown but since she bore the title "King's daughter of his body" her father is likely to have been a king,[1] possibly Pharaoh Khafre. His son Menkaura had a daughter, Khentkaus I. Thus, Princess Khentkaus was possibly a daughter of Khafra and aunt of Khentkaus I.
Khentkaus married Prince Khufukhaf II. She had two sons with him: Khaf-Khufu and Sety-Ptah.[2] Khentkaus was buried with her husband in the tomb G 7150 at Giza. She is depicted in the tomb.[2] [3]
