Biography

He was a son of Pharaoh Menkaure and his sister, Queen Khamerernebty II.[2] He was a grandson of Khafra and Khamerernebty I and great-grandson of Khufu, king who built the Great Pyramid of Giza.[3][4]

He was a secretary and "sole companion of his father".[5]

He was the eldest son of his parents, but he was not Menkaure’s successor.[6] This was Shepseskaf.[7]

Khuenre is buried in Menkaure’s cemetery (MQ 1). He is depicted as a young boy standing in front of his seated mother on south wall.[8]
