How Did Cleopatra's Siblings Die?

Cleopatra had 5 siblings. There was the oldest Cleopatra VI. Cleopatra VII had the same name as her. She died because her father wanted his throne back. And her 2nd oldest sister named Berenice was beheaded probably because she was married to her cousin to keep the royal blood but she choked him so she could marry a different man. After that comes Cleopatra VII. And then comes Cleopatra's young sister Arsinoe. As soon as Cleopatra got her throne back her sister ran away to the people who kicked her from the throne. So Cleopatra got mad and requested someone to kill her. So Arsinoe was killed by her own sister. The oldest brother was Ptolemy XII and he was killed because while Cleopatra and Mark Antony were having war between Ptolemy XII and he drowned in the river of Nile while he was escaping. And the other younger brother Ptolemy XIV was poisoned by Cleopatra. So all of her siblings were killed and in the end Cleopatra died because an Asp bit her and killed her. (She wanted the Asp to kill her after Mark Antony killed himself.)

Cleopatra Selene (40 BC - 6 AD), sometimes referred to as Cleopatra VIII, was the daughter of Cleopatra VII of Egypt and Mark Antony. In about 26 BC she married Juba II of Numidia, and as a wedding present Augustus Caesar made Cleopatra Selene queen of Mauretania in her own right.

They had at least two children: Ptolemy of Mauretania (1 B.C. - 40 A.D.) and Drusilla of Mauretania.(b. 5 A.D.); there may also have been a daughter named Cleopatra.

So, while there was a Cleopatra VIII and possibly a ninth, neither were Queen of Egypt.

Note - there seems to be a contradiction regarding Cleopatra Selene, but that lies with the source.
