It is generally accepted that Hatshepsut became Queen of Egypt after the death of her husband (Thutmose II). He was also her step-brother. The orthodox chronology that places her in circa 1450 BC sees her as just one of many sons and daughters born to the many concubines that the ancient kings, in this case 'Egyptian', traditionally had.
Hatshepsut had a daughter by Thuthmose II, but his heir was Thuthmose III, a son by a lesser wife. Hatshepsut originally reigned as co-regent with him, as he was not yet old enough to be pharaoh. However, she laid claim to the throne by claiming herself to be daughter of Ra. She reigned until she died of natural causes.

Queen Hatshepsut gained power as co-regent with her stepson Thutmose III in around 1478 BCE. After her husband and Thutmose III's father, Thutmose II, died, Hatshepsut assumed the role of regent until Thutmose III reached adulthood. She eventually declared herself pharaoh, breaking with tradition, and ruled Egypt for more than 20 years.
When was queen hatshepsut given the throne?
Since Thutmose III was too young to assume the throne unaided, Hatshepsut served as his regent. Initially, Hatshepsut bore this role traditionally until, for reasons that are unclear, she claimed the role of pharaoh. Technically, Hatshepsut did not 'usurp' the crown, as Thutmose the III was never deposed and was considered co-ruler throughout her life, but it is clear that Hatshepsut was the principal ruler in power. He was her nephew.
