What happen to Cleopatra children when she died?
They were taken to Rome by Octavian/ Augustus (the Roman ruler who defeated Cleopatra and Marc Antony). The youngest boy, Ptolemy, may have died either on the journey or once they got to Rome. He died at around 8 or 9. The two other children, the twins Alexander Helios and Kleopatra Selene, 13 or 14 were raised by Marc Antony's former wife Octavia until Alexander died (or was killed?) at age 15 or 16. Kleopatra lived with Ocatvia for around another year before she married Juba ll of Numidia and later Mauretania. It was a love marriage.
Just a slight correction to the above answer. The boys did not die. According the ancient writer Seutonius, Augustus raised them and educated them according to their station. The term "according to their station" means that they had a good education as they were nobility on their father's side and princes on their mother's side. You can't educate someone who is dead.

Cleopatra had many setbacks and she managed to overcome most of them, even if they were caused by her own selfishness. The last setback was the killer though, as it culminated in her suicide.

The failure to dethrone Herod was another, the defeat at Actium and the refusal of her neighbors to come to her aid against Rome certainly counted as setbacks, big time.
