Cleopatra's father made the big mistake of angering the Alexandrians by keeping the throne when the did not want him as their king. Cleopatra was not wanted as a queen by the Alexandrians as they preferred her brother. She made sure that she was the only choice by killing off her family as soon as she had the throne secured. That way she had to be queen as there was no one left who could legitimately take her throne.

Does Google make grammatical mistake?

Yes, it does. Try to google "Did the Founding Fathers own slaves?" Google comes back with the grammatically wrong suggestion of: Did you mean: Did the Founding Fathers owned slaves? When the past tense in the question is already denoted by the auxiliary verb "did", it is wrong to repeat the past tense in the lexical verb "own". The Yahooh search engine makes grammatical mistake too. It comes back with: Did you mean: Did the Founding Father's own slaves?
