Biography Nebty-tepites may have been a daughter of Prince Horbaef and his half-sister Meresankh II. She had a sister Nefertkau III and a brother Djaty. After Horbaef's death, Meresankh married a King, either Djedefra or Khafre and became a queen consort. So, Nebty-tepites was a niece and step-daughter of her mother's second husband.
