Khentkaus III,[4][1] often called Khentakawess III by news media, was an ancient Egyptian queen who lived during the Fifth Dynasty, around 2450 BC.[4]
Khentkaus was very likely a daughter of king Neferirkare Kakai and queen Khentkaus II, while her husband was equally likely pharaoh Neferefre,[1] and her son the future pharaoh Menkauhor Kaiu.[2][5]
